00:00Houston has dropped three straight, including the first two of its set at home at H-Town
00:08against the Oakland Athletics.
00:10Trying to avoid the sweep today.
00:12Who do you turn to?
00:13Frambois Valdez, who gets the start today against the A's.
00:16You can see the Astros booked as greater than a $2.00 favorite.
00:20Does Houston end their three-game skid and avoid the sweep today against the Athletics?
00:25Yes, they do, and yesterday there were two RBI guys I loved on the Houston Astros.
00:29Neither one of those got an RBI and ended up losing that game, but I do think a bounce
00:33back is in order today.
00:34Why?
00:35Because it's Frambois Valdez on the mound.
00:36You take a look at his last 60 days, Ben.
00:37A stellar 1.83 ERA and an XFIP of 2.53.
00:41That covers 59 innings.
00:43He's been nothing short of spectacular.
00:44If you look at his last 30 days, ISIL against an 0-12, which is microscopic through 96 batters.
00:50You take a look at the weighted-on-base percentage, 171.
00:53Strikeouts.
00:54How about this?
00:55He's a left-handed pitcher.
00:56Left-handed bats going up against him past month, 46% strikeout rate.
01:00That's astronomically good.
01:01You take a look at the Oakland lineup tonight and say, how can they fare?
01:03Forget about going up against Frambois Valdez, one of the better left-handed pitchers in
01:07baseball.
01:08Just lefties in general.
01:09You have Lawrence Butler to lead off at a .308 ISIL power number to weighted-on-base
01:12percentage of .440, which is spectacular.
01:15After that, just about every single batter in that lineup really struggles with left-handed
01:20pitching.
01:21Run line for the Houston Astros today.
01:23They bounce back in a big way because Frambois Valdez is absolutely elite.
