Miami Marlins vs. Houston Astros Prediction
In his last six starts, Munoz has surrendered at least four runs in four of those six outings and he has been hit hard this season. On the year, he ranks in the bottom third percentile in xERA (6.05), his barrels allowed is in the bottom first percentile, and he has really struggled with command, which has led to a high number of walks issued. The Houston Astros should be able to capitalize on this matchup with Munoz as they have the highest scoring offense against opposing right-handed pitchers when playing on their home field. Houston ranks first in wRC+ (127) vs. right-handed pitchers at home this season. When looking at how opposing right-handed starters have faired against the Astros, 11 of the last 13 pitchers to face them have allowed 3+ earned runs.
The Astros got off to a hot start in yesterday's game scoring six runs in the first four innings and they never looked back. They added another three runs the rest of the way to secure a 9-1 victory. The offense will come into this game with some nice momentum and they have a tremendous opportunity to stay hot against Roddery Munoz. Expect the Houston Astros to take advantage of this matchup, stay hot at the plate, and score 3+ earned runs against Munoz to cash this article play.
