Astros vs Marlins Prediction, Betting Analysis
After winning the first two games of this series and holding Miami to five total runs, the Astros send Spencer Arrighetti to the hill to face Janson Junk as they go for the sweep on Wednesday.
The Astros are currently atop the AL West division, but Seattle is breathing down their necks, trailing by just three games in the standings.
Meanwhile, Miami is two games under .500, in third place in the NL East and seven games back from a wild card spot.
For this particular game, the target should be on the under, especially based on the system that's lighting up in favor of this pick.
The "Weather: Wind Blowing In (PRO)" system has a strategy that's pretty simple ā but effective ā for betting.
The core principle here is to bet on the under when the wind is blowing inward at a speed of five mph or more. When the wind blows into the field from the outfield, it often serves as a natural deterrent to home runs and deep fly balls, effectively diminishing the scoring potential of the game.
By systematically leveraging this insight, bettors can consistently find value in under bets in games where the wind conditions meet this criterion. In the case of this game, that's accurate.
Most importantly, this system has a 4.5% return on investment for +$11,002 since its inception in 2005.
