Hunter Brown (HOU) to record a win (-110)
It's crazy to think that this is near even odds. For Brown to record the win, he needs to do 2 things. One, pitch at least 5 innings. Two, leave the game with the Astros winning and the bullpen not giving up the lead. That shouldn't be too hard for this game. First of all, Brown has completed 5 innings in 8 straight starts. The right-hander had a rough beginning to the 2024 campaign but has completely turned it around lately. In his first 7 starts: 8.89 ERA, 2.20 WHIP and .356 batting average allowed. Since then: 1.89 ERA, .199 batting average allowed and 29% strikeout rate.
Houston will need to have the lead when Brown exits after 5 innings, and that's pretty expected based on the pitching matchup. The Astros will be facing Austin Gomber, the Rockies left-hander that has come back to earth after a solid start to the year. In his last 4 starts, Gomber has a 9.68 ERA, a .355 batting average allowed and 5 home runs given up. Plus, he already faced the Astros earlier in the season and surrendered 4 runs, 3 home runs and 6 hits in 7 innings. Since the Astros are priced at -265 to win the game, getting Brown to record the win at near +100 odds feels like a steal.
