Conditions · who's out · how it moves the number
For Tampa Bay Rays vs Houston Astros: Ballpark wind and temperature can swing the run total, though the live per-park feed isn't wired into this page yet, and 15 players are listed out or questionable across both sides.
FactorThis fixture
Ballpark weatherWind and temperature at the park move run totals, but our ballpark weather module is pending a file-to-table persistence job.
Availability15 listed out or questionable (see Who's out above)

General rule: wind blowing out and warm air help the ball carry (more runs and home runs), while wind in and cold air suppress scoring; the starting pitchers listed above are the single biggest driver of the run total.

Ballpark weather module pending a file-to-table persistence job (owner). We won't show a wind/temperature number until it's persisted to the database.

Houston Astros vs Tampa Bay Rays : Under 6.5 alternate_team_totals (-500)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on 'Houston Astros Under 6.5' for the Team Total Runs is rooted in the team's recent performance and the defensive capabilities of their opponent. Over the last five games, the Astros have averaged 3.4 runs, both overall and at home, falling considerably short of the 6.5 run line. Their batting average stands at 7.8 hits per game, which doesn't indicate a likelihood of a high scoring game. On the other side, the Tampa Bay Rays have been effective in limiting their opponents' runs, allowing an average of 4 runs in their last five away games. This combination of the Astros' lower scoring average and the Rays' solid defense supports the bet for the Astros to score under 6.5 runs in the upcoming game.
