Baltimore Orioles vs. Houston Astros Prediction
The Orioles are averaging 3.01 F5 inning runs per game, which is the fourth most in all of baseball. Today, they have a great matchup on tap against Cristian Javier, who has struggled mightily this season. Javier has allowed three or more runs in 12 of the last 14 games and has given up three or more F5 inning runs in 11 of the last 14 starts.
If we do some line reading here, Javier’s over 2.5 earned runs is set at -160, and his under 15.5 outs is set at -160, which means we are getting some great value here at plus odds.
They will have Adley Rutschman back in the lineup after he got the day off yesterday, so their offense will be at full strength. Over the last 30 days, the Orioles rank fifth in wRC+ (123), and I expect them to get to Javier early today.
