Cleveland Guardians vs. Houston Astros Prediction
Oddsmakers have shown Houston way too much respect early-on this season, but tonight’s moneyline odds are borderline ridiculous. The Astros have Arringhetti on the bump with a 10.97 ERA and they are favorites against the surging Guardians? I know Logan Allen isn’t great, but this line is absurd…
I can’t resist on the Astros tonight, they have one of the worst arms in baseball making the start tonight and they are (-130) on the moneyline against one of the best teams in baseball. We’ve seen some life out of the Astros this week; before yesterday’s loss, they ripped off three wins in a row. Maybe we’re buying-low on the Astros at the perfect time…
The odds on the moneyline in this contest are some of the weirdest I’ve seen all season. Maybe the oddsmakers know something we don’t, or they could just be buying-low at the right time here with the Astros sitting as (-130) favorites at home on Thursday night. Fade the Guardians and back the Astros to bounce back after their loss to Cleveland last night, winning their second series in a row. Don’t be surprised if they get hot down the stretch here…
