00:00 >> And now we go to Houston, where is the fork?
00:06 The Astros nearly a dollar and a half favorite tonight as they host the St. Louis Cardinals
00:11 for the second game of this midweek set.
00:13 Over under is nine.
00:15 Spencer Arrighetti was not necessarily the most stellar starter for Houston to begin
00:20 this year, but as of late has been better for the Strohs.
00:23 Is it two straight victories for Houston tonight in H-Town?
00:26 >> Yes, taking a look at some of the numbers here.
00:29 Pellante should be the starter.
00:30 Not a lot here on the Major League Baseball season.
00:32 Only 71 batters he's faced in the past 30 days.
00:35 Only 22.
00:36 But of those 22, how about this?
00:38 Combining for a lefty and righty split here.
00:39 A zero iso and a 215 weighted on base percentage.
00:42 That should help you out.
00:43 Why?
00:44 Because the middle of that lineup here is juicy for the Houston Astros.
00:47 Kyle Tucker, Jordan Alvarez, and Alec Bregman.
00:49 Now keep an eye tonight.
00:51 Kyle Tucker, one of the hottest hitters in Major League Baseball, yesterday in his first
00:54 appearance got a base hit.
00:56 In his second appearance, fouled a ball off his leg and had to leave the ball game.
00:59 Because he's had 76 at bat against right-handed pitching over the past 30 days.
01:03 With a 559 iso and a 563 weighted on base percentage.
01:07 Some other guys really hitting right-handed pitching.
01:09 And that lineup is Jordan Alvarez, 279 iso power number, and Alex Bregman at a 324 over
01:14 the past month.
01:15 You flip it over to St. Louis, you take a look at Spencer Arriguete, who's been much
01:18 better as he was to start the Major League Baseball season.
01:21 Get a couple guys in the middle of that lineup here hitting right-handed pitching fairly
01:25 well for the Cardinals.
01:26 And that's Burleson, Goldschmidt, and Gorman.
01:28 If you're looking for RBI props, those guys should be on your card.
01:30 As well as the middle of the lineup for the Houston Astros tonight.
01:33 But that price point here, I don't know if I want to pay that for the Houston Astros
01:36 here so we'll just go with some runs.
01:38 How about that?
