u8.5 (+100)
Houston has scored three runs or fewer in seven of eight. They're missing several key bats and it shows in their results. While Seattle is in better form, they sit 25th in runs per game and 26th in average. They're unlikely to score enough to push this game Over.

Andy Pages o0.5 Total Home Runs (+540)
Let’s head to Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night and grab a +540 Andy Pages dinger in one of the best matchups on the board. Adrian Houser is a bottom-10 starter in baseball right now. He owns the fifth-worst BlastContact% among MLB starters, as hitters are taking aggressive swings and squaring him up consistently. Twenty-one percent of his fly balls are leaving the yard, and his xFIP suggests the damage is sustainable. The setting also favors home runs with winds blowing out, and Pages has the third-fastest swing on the Los Angeles Dodgers over the last two weeks behind Shohei Ohtani (+235) and Max Muncy (+340). The Giants' bullpen is also one to target for runs.
Yamamoto has dominated this lineup in the past, and he will probably do so again as the Giants have a lowly 87 wRC+ and .293 wOBA against right-handed pitching. LA’s star-studded lineup is in a cold stretch, posting a 91 wRC+ over the last 15 days and averaging 2.5 runs in its last four games

u8.0 (-120)
If Brandon Sproat can hold his own early, the Brewers will turn to an excellent bullpen that ranks fifth in xFIP and tied for third in homers allowed per nine innings.
Colder weather and Andre Pallante’s high ground-ball rate (50%) should allow the Cardinals to limit the long ball. That’ll make it difficult to score runs in bulk, helping keep this game Under the total.
MIL (-110)
Brandon Sproat’s xFIP and SIERA are two full runs less than his ERA, suggesting he hasn’t pitched as poorly as it appears on the surface.
Andre Pallante has posted some concerning numbers against lefties (47.2% hard-hit rate, 13.2% barrel rate), and the Brewers have plenty of good ones in their lineup. This mismatch favors the visitors, and we'll take the Brewers on the ML.
