Astros vs Giants MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
Our top prop edge for this matchup is on Yordan Alvarez hits prop this afternoon against the Giants.
Action PRO projects the Astros DH for 1.66 hits, giving us an excellent 15.1% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 1.5, which is good enough to tag the over with an A- grade in our system.
Alvarez is currently in the lead for the American League batting title, with a .322 average and a 15-point difference over the second-best hitter.
He'll likely face the struggling Adrian Houser at Oracle Park today, so the chance of getting a multi-hit performance out of him increases, as he also has a .344 average vs. RHP
Alvarez already went 2-for-5 in the first game of this series.
At a great value, let's back him today in San Francisco.
Pick: Yordan Alvarez Over 1.5 Hits (+190, bet365)
