It’s a clash of totals trends in Houston. Cleveland’s been a dead-under team lately—14 of their last 20 have stayed below the number—thanks to solid pitching and spotty offense.
But Houston’s trending the other way, with 4 of their last 5 going OVER behind a resurgent lineup. The total is a tight 7, juiced to the OVER at -120, which tells you oddsmakers expect early scoring despite the low number.
Hunter Brown gets the nod for the Astros and has been sharp at home, while Joey Cantillo takes the mound for the Guardians—talented but still raw.
Houston is a -200 favorite, but the real play might be the first five innings OVER if Cantillo struggles to settle in early.
