Astros vs Rangers MLB Betting Preview
This prop features a not-great hitter (a journeyman-type guy) who doesn’t do much against a great pitcher like Hunter Brown.
Plus, I give Nicky Lopez a 25% chance of getting pinch-hit for once the bullpen enters.
This prop sets up especially well for the bullpen, as three of Houston’s highest-leverage arms are lefties, and Lopez is one as well.
Josh Hader, Bryan King, and Steven Okert are all lefties out of the Astros bullpen with fresh, rested arms.
Brown might go five or six innings, and once the bullpen enters, we could be done with Lopez for the day. That’s what I’m banking on.
Pick: Nicky Lopez Under 0.5 HRR (+105 or Better)
