Houston Astros vs Atlanta Braves: Jose Altuve Over 0.5 Batter - Hits + Runs + RBIs (-250)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Jose Altuve has not been in his best form lately, only getting about one hit every three games. However, he often performs well against left-handed pitchers, and today he faces one, which usually helps him get back on track. The Astros have struggled in recent games, often losing by just a run, so they will need their star players to step up.
Betting on Altuve to get at least one hit, run, or RBI makes sense since he's usually better against lefties. The Braves also have a decent record at home, but Houston's performance at Minute Maid Park can be a game-changer. The biggest risk here is Altuve's recent low hitting rate, but he has a good chance to bounce back today.
