Padres Backed at -126 as Altuve Draws 2+ Total Bases Bet

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 7

Summary

  • San Diego is the recommended side at -126, with the pick hinging on newly acquired starter Robbie Ray carrying a 10-6 record, 3.08 ERA and 11 runs allowed over his last 60 innings.
  • Houston counters with Ronel Blanco, who has logged just 14.2 innings this season and has allowed at least three earned runs in each of his three appearances.
  • Jose Altuve is the featured player prop for 2+ total bases because he is 11-for-20 against Ray with six extra-base hits and only one strikeout.
  • The call still favors the Padres because they are 32-25 at home, while the Astros sit atop the AL West at 59-57 despite ongoing doubts about their pitching depth.
