Bullpen Usage
Will be interesting to see who is available today (other than Dubin, of course.
Today’s Pitching Matchup
Hunter Brown has no experience against current Mets.
K Prop
The number for Brown is 5.5 and, of course, it’s no bet for me, with no experience against the Mets.
Odds
Astros -124 and +164 -1.5. I like the MoneyLine under -125, but can’t do the spread until I see something more from this team.
Projected Standings
Down to 91 wins and it’s getting late early.
May not mean anything note of the day
I'm not sure if I believe in this stat, but other people do so…Jeremy Pena had 7 outs above average last year, which was good enough for the 92nd percentile.
This season Pena has -1 outs above average and is in the 61st percentile.
