Season Projections

I don’t get Rylan Bannon and Cesar Salazar, but maybe that’s just me.

Here’s a reminder that these projections are weighted and rounded, so when you see something like Bannon’s numbers and say “2 for 12 should equal a .167 batting average”, remember behind the scenes the numbers are really 1.7 for 12.2 bringing us to the .137 number.

Abreu continues to impress.

Today’s Pitching Matchup

Another good matchup.

Bullpen Usage

Quick innings by Abreu and Montero means the pen is in good shape for Saturday.

K Prop

Framber broke the string at 5 straight and today is a no-play as Javier’s projection of 7.46 is right on the market of 7.5.

Odds

Astros are -126 and I like that number at home with Javier on the mound.

Projected Standings

I see the beginning of things firming up a bit, though 109 wins for the Rangers is not going to happen.

May not mean anything note of the day

Mauricio Dubon is hitting .222 at home and .404 on the road.
