Bullpen Usage

The bullpen, which has been lights out in August (see below), is in good shape to start the Mariners series.

Today’s Pitching Matchup

Both France and Miller have good numbers against today’s opponents.

K Prop

No prop listed at prep time, but my number comes in at 5.29.

Odds

Astros -152 on the MoneyLine implies a win probability of 60.32% which seems high to me.

The Run Line number is +134, which implies a 42.74% chance of hitting. My number comes in at 45.67%, which leaves a 3% value (I hate that word in this context) on the Astros -1.5.

Luck Rankings

May not mean anything notes of the day

Chas since June 1:

216 PA .324/.417/.595 13 HR 36 RBI 9 SB .429 wOBA 180 wRC+

Rafael Montero since July 1:

16 G 17.2 IP 5 R 4 ER 20 K 11 BB 1 HBP 94.6% LOB 2.04 ERA 4.43 xFIP

Montero’s high LOB% and low BABIP (.114) during this time, suggest there’s a possibility of regression looming.
