Rockies: Tanner Gordon (4-5, 7.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, 27 strikeouts)
Astros: Hunter Brown (10-5, 2.36 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 170 strikeouts)
Team Records & Trends:
Houston Astros:
72-59 overall, 38-27 at home – strong at Minute Maid
Hitters: .254 BA, 2nd in AL – disciplined lineup
Last 10 games: 4-6, .204 BA, 5.69 ERA – recent rough stretch but still superior talent
Colorado Rockies:
37-94 overall, 16-49 on the road – historically bad away
Extremely vulnerable to home runs: 17-77 when giving up at least one
Last 10 games: 5-5, .251 BA, 5.79 ERA – slightly better offensively than Astros lately, but pitching is weak
Key Players:
Astros:
Jose Altuve: 22 HR, .456 SLG – consistent power threat
Carlos Correa: 1 HR, 5 RBI in last 10 games – hot stretch
Rockies:
Hunter Goodman: 25 HR, 52 extra-base hits – main power source
Brenton Doyle: 4 HR, 11 RBI in last 10 games – showing sparks
Pitching Matchup Notes:
Tanner Gordon: 7.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP – extremely hittable, especially against a disciplined Astros lineup
Hunter Brown: 2.36 ERA, 1.01 WHIP – reliable and dominant, already 170 strikeouts
Edge: Astros – Brown’s quality and home-field advantage make them overwhelming favorites
Betting Breakdown:
Moneyline:
Astros -341: Safe play, expected to win comfortably
Rockies +270: Highly risky, only viable as a huge underdog payout
Run Line:
Astros -1.5 -160: Excellent bet – Rockies’ pitching struggles make multi-run victory likely
Rockies +1.5 +140: Cheaper hedge, but expect Houston to cover
Over/Under:
8 runs: Lean over – Rockies may score a run or two, Astros’ offense can push this total
Final Bet Recommendation:
Value Pick (Run Line): Astros -1.5 -160 – smart if looking for extra value, dominant pitching matchup favors multi-run victory
