Mariners vs Astros Betting Lines
| Team | Runline | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle Mariners | -1.5 (+130) | -125 | O9.0 (-120) |
| Houston Astros | +1.5 (-150) | +105 | U9.0 (+100) |
Luis Castillo has yet to earn a win this season, posting an 0-4 start with a 6.57 ERA. The Astros have lost five straight Castillo starts and he’s surrendered four or more runs in three-consecutive outings.
The Astros put up seven runs on 10 hits when they faced Castillo earlier this season, giving more confidence towards their +105 Texas sports betting odds on the moneyline. Yordan Alvarez is worth a shot to hit a home run at +240 odds since he is 9/19 with three homers in 21 career plate appearances against Castillo.
Back Landon Roupp, Giants (+150) to Close Series Vs Dodgers
In a late-night battle between the San Francisco Giants and theLos Angeles Dodgers, California sports betting odds favor the Dodgers at -182 moneyline odds. However, this Dodgers lineup willcontinue their struggles against Giants’ starter Landon Roupp.
The data from Landon Roupp’s Baseball Savant page back up his strong start, showing that Roupp’s 98th-percentile barrel % and hard-hit % contribute to an expected batting average of .198. Wednesday night’s 4-0 win for LA was the first time they scored more than three runs since May 6, so Roupp can take advantage of a struggling Dodgers lineup with +150 odds.
Giants vs Dodgers Betting Lines
| Team | Runline | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| San Francisco Giants | +1.5 (-130) | +150 | O8.5 (+100) |
| Los Angeles Dodgers | -1.5 (+110) | -182 | U8.5 (-120) |
