Bullpen Usage
Back to back for Maton, his second of season, but high leverage guys, with the exception of Abreu should be rested.
Today’s Pitching Matchup
Hunter Brown has 0 experience against the Angels and Astros have hit Patrick Sandoval around.
K Prop
The market has Hunter Brown at 5.5 and with no history against the Angels, I’m sitting this one out.
Odds
Houston is -122 and I’ll take that. The Astros have hit Sandoval well, the Angels haven’t faced Brown and I’m expecting a bounce back from Hunter and the highest leverage arms are rested in the Astros bullpen.
Projected Standings
The Rangers continue to mash and the A’s won their first series of the season.
May not mean anything note of the day
After 34 games last season the Astros were 22-12. They started out 11-11, then went of an 11 game winning streak, before losing to the Nationals in game 34.
