<h2>Astros @ Brewers &#8211; First Pitch: 1:10 p.m.</h2>

<div>Expected Forecast: Scattered Clouds, 60°</div>

<div>
<p>The <strong>Houston Astros</strong> and the <strong>Milwaukee Brewers</strong> go head-to-head in an intriguing match-up this afternoon. <strong>Brandon Bielak </strong>will be on the mound for the Astros, while <strong>Adrian Houser</strong> will be pitching for the Brewers. A strikingly near-even split on FanDuel Sportsbook with Houston at <strong>-110</strong> and the Brew Crew at<strong> -109</strong>, indicating a tough contest is in the offering. The <strong>total</strong> for this game is set at <strong>9 </strong>after opening at <strong>9.5</strong>.</p>
<p>The major question leading up to this game is &#8211; which Astros team will we see? Will it be the dominant force that racked up <strong>12</strong> runs two nights ago? Or will we see a repeat of the lineup that failed to scratch out a single run in a <strong>6-0</strong> loss yesterday? This inconsistency is one of the key talking points surrounding Houston right now.</p>
<p>On the mound for the Brewers is Houser, who could be vulnerable against the Astros&#8217; typically potent lineup. The compelling price on Houston might tempt many to back them, hoping for a re-emergence of their formidable offense from two nights ago.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also an interesting dynamic when considering the total. Bielak has been somewhat disappointing over the past <strong>30 days</strong>, with a slightly inflated <strong>4.47 xFIP</strong>. More concerningly, left-handed batters have posted a hefty <strong>.395</strong> <strong>wOBA </strong>against him, and right-handers are not far behind at <strong>.389</strong>. This could play into Milwaukee&#8217;s hands and suggests they might be able to rack up some runs.</p>
<p>The anticipated Astros lineup will be missing <strong>Jose Altuve</strong>. That places more pressure on players like <strong>Yordan Alvarez</strong>, who has been reliable against right-handed pitching. <strong>Jose Abreu</strong>, who arrived with a significant reputation, needs to step up, having shown disappointing <strong>ISO</strong> numbers and a <strong>wOBA</strong> of <strong>.243</strong> against righties over the last <strong>30 days</strong>. <strong>Kyle Tucker</strong> also needs to improve, with his<strong> ISO</strong> of <strong>.093</strong> and a wOBA of <strong>.249</strong> in <strong>63 at-bats</strong>.</p>
<p>Despite recent struggles, the Astros are known for their resilience. This matchup could be the spark they need to reignite their offense. </p>
