Updated Projections - Game 112 of 162

Nearly hitless in New York

Composition of Projections:

2023 Actuals: 69.1%

Preseason Projections: 30.9%

Season Projections

Have separated those on the active roster vs. those optioned or sent to minors (yellow).

Stats for players no longer on the MLB roster will continue to decrement as the season continues.

Have made an adjustment to Graveman’s projections to correct a calculation.

Astros 162

Bullpen Usage

The power of Verlander in action. Not only did he manage 7 innings on a day when he was not at his best, but all that was needed out of the pen was Graveman. Could be important as Urquidy ramps up on return.

Today’s Pitching Matchup

Both starters with good numbers vs. opponent.

K Prop

None were listed at press time, but my number is 3.50. I would stay away with the uncertainty of Urquidy’s length.

Odds

Astros -104 on the MoneyLine and -194 +1.5. I’ll take the Astros to bounce back on the MoneyLine and leave the run line be.

Projected Standings

I’ll look into the standings more on the off day, but the races in the AL East and NL Central are tight.
