Athletics vs Houston Astros: Jonah Heim Over 1.5 Batter - Strikeouts (+571)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
The odds for Jonah Heim to get over 1.5 strikeouts are pretty tempting at +571. He hasn't struck out in his last three games, but facing the Houston Astros could change that. Their starting pitcher gives up runs at a low rate, which means more chances for Heim to get up to the plate and swing. Plus, the Astros are known for hitting home runs, so there might be more action in this game.
The big risk here is that the Athletics have won only 3 of their last 10 games and have lost 7 straight on the road. That could mean less scoring overall, which isn't great for Heim's strikeout chances. Still, if the game gets lively, he might just surprise us.
