Bullpen Usage
Four relievers used in a blowout loss and Brown comes off the list with today’s start.
Today’s Pitching Matchup
Emerson Hancock has 10 IP in his MLB career, none against the Astros.
K Prop
6.5 is the listed number for Brown and while his experience against the Mariners is limited, I’m on the over.
Odds
Astros -180 on the MoneyLine implies a win probability of 64.29%.
The Run Line number is +116, which implies a 46.30% chance of hitting. My number comes in at 48.68%, which leaves a 2.38% value on the Astros -1.5.
