Houston has been decimated by injuries this season and Los Angeles isn't making things any easier for the slumping Astros. With both teams throwing rookie pitchers on the mound, Covers_Ro likes the Dodgers' odds a tad more.
If you saw a common theme in the above breakdown it was probably"fade Blanco" and that's exactly what I'm looking to do with this parlay. Both Freeman and Martinez have struggled lately, which has been factored into their player props and gives a better payout on these plays than there would normally be.
Martinez is batting just .206 this month but he's a proven slugger that has driven in 48 runs in just 59 games this year. With Freeman and Betts having a good chance of getting on base today, his RBI prop has plenty of value. : Covers may receive advertising commissions for visits to a sportsbook or betting siteThe Dodgers opened as -180 favorites at most books and that line has stayed relatively steady.
The Stros have been underachieving at the plate but have also been decimated by injuries to their rotation, which is why Blanco has been added. Luis Garcia and Lance McCullers Jr. are done for the year with elbow injuries while Jose Urquidy is sidelined until late July.
