A run would help

Season Projections
Another putrid offensive performance in final game in Milwaukee.
Pretty good start by Bielak. In retrospect, probably should have taken him out after 6.
Astros 162

Bullpen Usage
The beginning of 17 straight games means the bullpen will be taxed at some point, but with Brown, Valdez and Javier scheduled, hopefully, that’ll be down the road.
Today’s Pitching Matchup
Kaprielian had a decent outing against the Astros last week.
K Prop
The number for Brown is 6.5 and my numbers predict a number closer to 8. Over is the play.
Odds
The potential return on Astros -260 is not worth the risk, Kaprielian held the Astros to 1 run over 5 innings last time out and the Astros haven’t scored in two games. No bet for me.
Projected Standings
As June 1 approaches the Astros have work to do.
May not mean anything note of the day
wRC+ as of 5.26.23.

Fred Flintstone in the house, yo! Man, that card brings back memories....mostly of Gene Elston, Harry Kalas (whom my dad enjoyed calling "Fuzzy Wart," and he knew him! But, he said it in my presence, not his!), and Loel Passe...."Swung on! Now you chunkin' in there!"
