Today’s Pitching Matchup
If the below is to be believed, Framber has struck out exactly 0 of 37 Guardians faced.
Gavin Williams has not faced anyone on the Astros.
K Prop
0 for 37 leads me to the under for Framber, which sits at 5.5 for Framber.
Odds
Astros -190 on the MoneyLine is again a big price for this team that is up and down and I’ll stay away, thanks. On the other hand, the run line shows Astros -1.5 at +105, which again seems like a better risk/reward to me.
Projected Standings
As August dawns, the Astros move within a half-game of the Rangers, but the projected meter barely moves.
Luck Rankings
Marlins back on top of Luck Rankings.
