00:00 the season. Now we go around the rest of MLB. The Astros have
00:06 not had an easy test this week against the Angels to continue
00:09 their winning ways. They dropped the opener after
00:12 allowing three home runs in the fifth on Monday evening in
00:16 Houston. Yesterday, it took extras Kyle Tucker with his
00:19 second home run of the game. His MLB leading 17th of this
00:23 season forces extra innings and then Jeremy Pena, a walk off
00:28 RBI single for Houston. The Astros win six to five. They
00:31 were booked as nearly a $2 favorite. They do win outright
00:36 a total of nine does go over in H town. Tucker's been crazy
00:40 paying you the young shortstop here. He's been phenomenal on
00:42 the season 328. Now after going two for five in this game, I
00:46 did have two RBI shots that I played. It was Rangifo and it
00:48 was Calhoun and also it was Dinger Tuesday here on the
00:51 Fandula Sportsbook. I had the choice of Willie Calhoun and
00:54 Rangifo. I went with Willie Calhoun. I didn't get an RBI
00:57 yesterday or a home run and he saw Rangifo three RBIs, which
01:00 included a home run, but also we talk about handicapping and
01:03 how you let it play out. A bad handicap would be the cleanup
01:06 hitter going over five, but when the cleanup hitter in a
01:09 game where I expect to get a lot of runs got two base hits.
01:12 You expect maybe a home run at those two base hits, but
01:14 certainly an RBI chance or an opportunity there, which they
01:17 didn't get because why Rangifo was cleaning up everything out
01:20 there. So no RBI is actually got to Willie Calhoun. So still
01:23 a decent night overall, but a good win for the Astros and I
01:25 keep getting back to this point. We don't have a team
01:28 like the Phillies who are the lead dogs out in the AL West
01:31 running away with the division, which would be like 10 or 12
01:33 games above the Houston Astros. It's tightly packed here.
01:36 They're starting to play better baseball. There's a pedigree in
01:39 Houston where they expect to be in the playoffs. I know they're
01:42 22 and 27, but it just feels like we want to kick them out
01:46 of the playoffs already until you look at the standings and
01:48 realize we're not even in the June yet.
