Athletics vs Houston Astros: Carlos Cortes Over 1.5 Batter - Strikeouts (+486)

Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing

Carlos Cortes has a chance to get over 1.5 strikeouts against the Houston Astros at nice odds of +486. He's been hitting the ball more often lately, about 1.3 times his usual rate, which is promising for this matchup. The Athletics have struggled, winning only 3 of their last 10 games and losing 7 straight on the road, which might put extra pressure on Cortes. The Astros are known for hitting home runs, especially since they leave parks like Daikin Park more often than others. While Cortes has been getting hits, the platoon matchup suggests he might struggle against a tough lineup like Houston's. Even though he has the potential to surprise, it's worth noting that Cortes averages just 0.7 singles at home. So, while this bet has some upside, it could go either way.
