Bullpen Usage

My guess is Abreu is down for the evening and Pressly is available. With 5 games to go till the next off day, if Pressly is used tonight, expect him to be down Sunday and Monday.

Today’s Pitching Matchup

J.P. France makes his debut and the Astros have had success against Marco Gonzalez.

K Prop

With no history for J.P. France I’m sitting this one out. The market is at 4.5.

Odds

The Astros are -110 on the Money Line, which is interesting to me since France is making his debut, but that probably speaks to Gonzales’ results against the Astros.

Can’t trust France on the road in his first MLB start and can’t trust the Mariners. No bet for me.

Projected Standings

Two more in Seattle, three in Anaheim and three in Chicago (White Sox) means the Astros can make a move in the next week.

May not mean anything note of the day

Luis Garcia and Jose Urquidy faced a combined 1,324 batters last season.
