Astros vs. Twins Prediction and Pick
The Astros are finally looking like the AL contender we all thought they would be at the start of the season. Houston’s bats haven’t been the star of the show, though. The Astros’ wins are coming from their pitching staff. In the month of May, the Astros have the third-best team ERA in baseball (2.85).
Houston is also 8-3 against the run line in the last 11 games, with three consecutive 3-2 wins over the Tigers breaking up the streak. It’s not just that the Astros are winning, but the fact they’ve been dominant in the process.
Minnesota has been good in the last 10 games as well, going 7-3 SU. However, the Twins just got beat 5-0 and haven’t had the best offense in the last five games. This is a chance for the Astros to flex their rotation and get another win.
Lean: Astros -1.5 (+135)
