Sunday’s MLB playoff action has just 1 game on deck but it will be a good one. Two in-state division rivals going head-to-head for a chance to go up 1-0 in the series.'You can read our MLB prediction for Rangers-Astros, but for now, let’s dive into the best MLB player prop bets for Sunday, October 15.
Jordan Montgomery, TEX, Under 1.5 walks (-105)
Jordan Montgomery has impressed me this postseason, primarily in his first start of his postseason this season. He dished out 7 innings of shutout baseball and surrendered zero walks. In the following round, Montgomery struggled against the youth-driven Baltimore Orioles. His 9 hits allowed were the second most he’s given up this season. He neared 30 pitches in the 1st inning, which resulted in him being pulled after just 4 innings pitched. Against the Houston Astros tonight, I’m banking on Montgomery limiting baserunners via the walk.
We’ve done into short leashes for starters this postseason, and we’re going right back to it. Montgomery’s outs line is set at just 14.5 with vig on the over. If he doesn’t have his best stuff, Montgomery will be pulled in an instant and hand it to the Rangers bullpen that has a 2.16 ERA this postseason.
