Grant Neiffer's Astros vs Athletics Preview
Houston Astros Player Prop: Altuve 1+ HRs
I'm going hard on the Houston righties, as the spot is too good. Opposing pitcher Jacob Lopez has been crushed by righties this season, giving up a massive 1.90 HR/9 to go along with a fly-ball rate near 60%.
The weather should be good in Sacramento, with temps expected to be in the high-70s and wind blowing out at 13 mph in what's one of the more wind-receptive ballparks in the league.
Jose Altuve has been good this season, with 12 bombs in 71 games, and he's been in good form recently, with three bombs in the last six games.
I have the true odds here more than 100 points lower, making this a great bet.
Athletics Player Prop: Rooker o0.5 HR
Brent Rooker hasn't been great this season, but his underlying numbers are good, and this spot is great.
Opposing pitcher Colton Gordon has been crushed by righty power this season, and the weather should be great for hitting in Sacramento, with temps expected to be in the high-70s and wind blowing out to left field at 13 mph.
I have the true odds here around +250, making this a great bet.
