San Francisco Giants vs. Houston Astros Spread, Line, Odds, Predictions, Picks and Betting Preview

Giants @ Astros – First Pitch: 2:10 p.m.

Expected Forecast: Scattered Clouds, 84°
 

Remember that low-scoring showdown between the Giants and the Astros yesterday? The Giants shut them out like it was nothing, but don’t count Houston out just yet! They’re coming in today as a -177 favorite with Framber Valdez on the mound, facing off against Logan Webb from the Giants. The total is set at 7.5, so the question is: will the Astros bounce back today?

Now, let’s be real: Webb and Valdez are pretty similar pitchers when you look at their numbers. So, don’t go expecting a sudden offensive explosion from either team. Fun fact: Houston has actually been known for profitable unders, even with their strong lineup. They keep the ball in the park and don’t let the games fly over those totals. So, I’m eyeing an under in this one.

Alright, let’s take a closer look at these pitchers. Valdez, a lefty, has a solid FIP and has been dominant against right-handed batters. But he’s struggled against lefties, which might not be too much of an issue since teams typically stack righties against left-handed pitchers.

On the other side, Webb, a righty, has a strong K percentage and handles right-handed batters well, with lefties giving him more trouble. However, the Astros’ lineup will likely only have two lefties: Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker.

So, instead of focusing on the power-hitting potential, let’s consider that the pitchers might just steal the show today. This game could shape up to be another intense pitcher’s battle, and we’re here for it!
