Play: Houston Astros -1.5 (-125) E Morgan (RHP), L Mccullers Jr (RHP) Must Start
Houston has begun to separate themselves from the rest of the AL West with a 3.5 game lead ahead of Oakland. In the AL Central, Chicago has done the same to Cleveland. The Indians are now 9.5 GB. The Astros have owned the Tribe, winning seven consecutive meetings, including all six in 2021. Eli Morgan (1-3, 7.86) and Lance McCullers (7-2, 2.80) are starters here. Morgan has been tagged for nine HR’s in his six appearances. Today he must face a dangerous lineup that has tallied over 122 round-trippers. If you can believe it, McCullers seems to be getting even better as the season progresses. The RH has only allowed two runs or less in his last six turns. The seasoned veteran will keep the Cleveland lineup at bey while the potent Houston offense will light up the scoreboard here. The Indians are 0-4 L4 in Houston, 2-8 L10 on the road, and 3-9 L12 vs. RH starters. Take the Astros on the run line. Thank you.

Knehr/Wilson
Reiss Knehr only has a few MLB innings under his belt. Knehr walked too many batters at the minor league level and I expect him to put on a ton of free base runners. Bryse Wilson is giving up a lot of hits and a lot of homeruns. The humidity will rise as this game goes on. I think both teams bats will be warmed up from the first game and we will see a ton of runs put up on the board early and often. Take the Over.
