Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Houston Astros Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Hunter Brown fuels Astros to a big win over the Rays
Why we should bet on the Astros to cover -1.5 runs: The Astros are 4-2 against the spread in their last 6 road games. Hunter Brown, the Astros’ most dependable hurler this season, is set to start vs. the Rays on Wednesday, putting more pressure on a Rays squad that is batting .209 with 3.0 runs per game over the last five games. I also don’t trust Rays starter Taj Bradley to match up the intensity and the production that Brown will put on display in Game 3. Bradley is averaging 2.80 earned runs per game over his last five starts and allowed five runs in a 4-9 loss to Miami on May 16.
Our betting prediction for the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Houston Astros: Astros -1.5 Runs
