Athletics vs Houston Astros: Henry Bolte Over 2.5 Batter - Strikeouts (+730)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
The Athletics have struggled lately, winning just 3 of their last 10 games and losing 7 straight on the road. Henry Bolte is up against a tough Houston Astros pitcher who typically allows fewer runs than average. However, Bolte has been on fire, getting hits at about 1.7 times his usual rate and averaging 1.7 hits per game in his last 3 games.
With the Astros' home runs flying out of Daikin Park more often than in other places, it's clear that scoring could be easier than usual. Betting on Bolte to get over 2.5 strikeouts feels like a solid choice given his recent form. Just keep an eye on how well the Astros' pitcher performs because if he stays sharp, it could be a tougher day for Bolte.
