00:00Houston Astros have won six consecutive games. They will
00:06take that win streak today with them for game number two of
00:09their midweek set in Tampa at the Trop against the Rays. You
00:14say Kikuchi makes his third start after being acquired by
00:17the Astros at the trade deadline. Houston has won each
00:20of the first two starts that Kikuchi has made. He's got
00:24nineteen total Ks in those two outings and because of all that
00:28and Houston's winning ways as of late, the Astros a road
00:32favorite at the Trop. Will it be seven straight for the
00:35Astros today against the Rays? Yeah, I think they pick up the
00:38win. I do. I think they have the better pitcher on the
00:39mound and you say Kikuchi going up against Shane Boss who is a
00:43you know, a decent pitcher but I just like the way the lineup
00:45sets up today for the Houston Astros. Bregman, Alvarez, Diaz,
00:49Peña, and also Caratini all have elevated weighted on base
00:52percentages against right-handed pitching over the past 30 days
00:55and they're just a better team. So, you take a look at some of
00:57these cheaper prices for the Astros playing great baseball.
01:00I'll climb on board again. I like them yesterday to win and
01:03yesterday to stay under the total. They did both barely
01:05staying under because nobody scored I think in the six,
01:08seven, eighth, and ninth inning. So, that was a lucky
01:10one but today, forget about the total itself. I just think
01:12Houston is the better overall team. I'll take the Stros today
01:15to pick up the victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
