Astros throw rookie Colton Gordon (6.23 ERA, 2.08 WHIP) in just his 2nd career start – shaky debut vs KC, now faces MLB’s top stolen base squad. Rays rank 1st in AL with 57 SBs, led by Simpson & Caballero. Pepiot (3.93 ERA) has been better lately but Rays are 1-5 in his last 6 starts. Weak run support forces them to chase offense. They’ve flashed scoring upside: 11-9 and 8-3 wins vs TOR last week. Astros just erased a no-hitter, won 4-3 on clutch bombs by Diaz & Paredes. Both squads heating up late. Rays' bullpen has been a mess lately – 6.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP over last 27 innings. If Gordon struggles early and Tampa’s pen leaks late, scoring flows both ways.

Under 9-115

0.46u

Not a bet on Under 9. Cashing out or buying off Over 9 and getting onto Over 8.5 instead. Wouldnt do this to buy off an Over 8.5 and onto an Over 8 for instance but worth it at a key integer where you can still push on 9 and hit the Over 8.5 if you ended up with three tickets

Over 8.5-114

0.57u

Bet to 9 (-115). Cashed out Over 9 - playing this instead

Over 9-105

0.53u

Cashed out - play Over 8.5 instead but 9 fine to -115
