Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Astros and Orioles clash this Saturday, all eyes will be on Jackson Holliday, but betting on him to get a hit might be a stretch. The young slugger has shown flashes of brilliance, yet against the Astros' formidable pitching staff, he could find himself stymied. Houston’s rotation has been on fire lately, boasting an impressive strikeout rate that’s left many hitters scratching their heads.
Moreover, Holliday has been inconsistent at the plate, struggling against right-handers, which is critical considering the Astros' ace on the mound. With a model predicting just 0.3 hits for him today, betting the under feels like a wise move, especially with the odds stacked in our favor. The combination of Houston’s elite pitching and Holliday’s recent struggles should lead to a quiet day for the young star. Keep an eye on this matchup—it’s shaping up to be a tough test for him.
