Composition of Projections:
2023 Actuals: 74.7%
Preseason Projections: 25.3%
Season Projections
Tough season for Altuve, injury-wise.
France and Brown make their first relief appearances of the year and both get wins.
Astros 162

Bullpen Usage
I imagine Abreu is down, having been used in 3 of the last 4, but everyone else (except for Brown) should be good to go.
Today’s Pitching Matchup
Verlander with good numbers against the Marlins and I know it won’t happen, but Astros sure could use Altuve vs. Luzardo.
K Prop
The number is 5.5 and my number comes in at 6.90. Over.
Odds
The Astros are -124, which equates to a 55.36% implied win probability.
The run line at -1.5 drops down to a 41.72% probability with my numbers.
With JV on the mound, a relatively rested bullpen and an off day tomorrow, I like the Astros MoneyLine only.
The Marlins play too many close games to bet the Run Line.
