-155 is about as expensive of juice as I’ll pay, but this one makes alot of sense. Cristian Javier has admittedly been down lately, but this feels like a nice spot for him to bounce back.
New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros Prediction
Javier is 16 out of 20 on this prop on the year, and he faces a New York Yankees team that he has much success against. In 44 at-bats, the Yankees have just six hits against him, just a .136 average. Javier has the Yankees' best four hitters of, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Anthony Rizzo, and Gleyber Torres at a combined 1-28. For whatever reason, Javier owns these guys.
Now if there were a time to figure him out, it’s today, but this number is too good to pass up. An 80% hit rate on the season is rarely available for pitcher props and is something we need to just take and trust the data. Javier has been shaky lately, so perhaps he gets pulled early if he doesn’t bring his best stuff.
Javier could have by far his worst start versus the Yankees and still cash us. Whether it's five IP and allowing three runs or a seven-inning masterclass, we have different ways to win here. Let's roll!
