Bullpen Usage
Abreu’s blowup cost the Astros, even in the win. Pressly is likely down today and maybe tomorrow, too, as the Astros have 15 games remaining before an off day.
Today’s Pitching Matchup
Medina has not faced a current Astro.
K Prop
Market is at 6.5 and my number comes in at 5.97. I lean under, but probably a no-bet for me.
Odds
Astros -270 doesn’t offer much return for the risk, but I’ll take Astros -1.5 at -154.
Projected Standings
The Astros have won 10 of 12, but the Rangers have won 15 of 20.
May not mean anything note of the day
In case you didn’t notice above - Tony Kemp is 7 for 14 with 4 doubles against Javier.
