Bullpen Usage
After Maton struggled Friday, Stanek and Neris struggled yesterday.
Still 8 more games to go before an off day.
Today’s Pitching Matchup
No experience for J.P. France against Angels, but Astros have rocked Griffin Canning.
K Prop
The market is at 5.5, but you know I’m not betting when France has no history against the team he’s facing.
Odds
Astros are -148, which I’d take, but also intrigued by -1.5 at +122. Astros have only played 9 one-run games out of 58.
Projected Standings
Astros struggling to gain ground as the Rangers continue to crush it. Had to remind myself there are still over 100 games to go.
