Phillies vs Astros Preview
Hunter Brown Over 6.5 Strikeouts
I'm backing young ace Hunter Brown to stay hot as he takes the mound.
Brown has been excellent all season. He sports a 1.88 ERA, 109 strikeouts, and an 8-3 record. If it weren’t for Skubal’s dominance, Brown could be a sneaky Cy Young candidate this season. He also boasts an outstanding whiff rate.
Specifically, I'm backing him to eclipse 6.5 strikeouts today against the Phillies.
The Phillies’ bats have struggled in Houston, with zero runs in 18 innings so far.
It won't get any easier against Brown.
Astros Moneyline
In addition, I'm betting on the Astros to complete the sweep.
Houston has been playing good baseball, going 4-1 over its past five games.
At home with its ace on the mound, you have to back the hot team. I expect the Astros will pull out a low-scoring victory on Thursday.
