HOUSTON ASTROS VS. TEXAS RANGERS PREDICTION
Did you have the Astros sitting at 2-5 through the first week of the season on your bingo card? If you did, you are one of the few that called their horrid start. Luckily for the Astros, they will be facing Cody Bradford tonight. Houston has a chance to put their poor start to the season in the past against one of the worst starting pitchers in baseball on Friday.
The Astros won’t be the only team putting up runs in this matchup. Hunter Brown threw a gem in his first start of the season against the Yankees, but with the total on the rise up to ten on most books, I don’t see him throwing another shutout tonight. If he was going to deal, the total wouldn’t have opened at 9.5 and moved up. I’m predicting a much different start for the young righty tonight on the road against one of the most potent lineups in baseball.
Houston finally broke through with some runs in their last series against the Blue Jays. They scored 8+ runs in two of their three games. For some reason, this Astros team seems to score more on the road. They’ve been that way for the past couple seasons. They score tons of runs on the road and win with their offense, and at home their pitchers perform much better. Unders in Houston were one of the most profitable bets in baseball last season, but on the road their pitchers tend to struggle. Don’t expect a shutout from Hunter Brown tonight…
It’s been a slow start for the Astros in 2024, but this team should have some confidence after scoring eight runs against Toronto in their last game. They will have a chance to put up another big number on the scoreboard against Cody Bradford on Friday night. With the total on the rise, bet the over in this game before it gets any higher. There will be plenty of runs from both teams in this contest. Enjoy your Friday night with an exciting wager on the total in Arlington; I’ll meet you at the cash counter.
