Tanner Bibee faces an encouraged Astros side fresh off a no-hitter victory in this matinee game. He's earned his fair share of strikeouts in his rookie season, but the punchouts won't come easily today, as Covers_josh's MLB betting picks explain.
: Covers may receive advertising commissions for visits to a sportsbook or betting siteIt was a big day yesterday for the Astros, who picked up Justin Verlander at the deadline and then went out and saw Framber Valdez toss a no-hitter.
There's a hole in the Houston rotation, as Cristian Javier has been pushed back a day. The club has liked the way he’s responded to extra rest. Bibee has been a pleasant surprise for the underachieving Guardians and has given the second-place club some good innings this season. But much like yesterday, it’s the Cleveland offense that holds this club back. With Josh Naylor questionable after missing yesterday with a lower-body injury, it could be another tough game offensively for Cleveland, who will likely see a lot of the Houston bullpen.
I think Blanco’s leash is short if he falters early, and this rested Houston bullpen can lock the door on the Guardians in what is a getaway game for both teams. It’s tough to predict how either team comes out following a no-hitter, but Bibee has been a solid starter. If he can get his 18 outs and keep the Houston offense in check, I like this Under 8.5 a lot.
