MLB Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks: Red Sox vs. Astros

  • Leg 1: Astros -1.5 (+118)
  • Leg 2: Luis Garcia over 6.5 strikeouts (+118)
  • Leg 3: Yordan Alvarez to record 3+ total bases (+165)

What is going on with the Red Sox? In June, they went 20-6 with a +44 run differential, but they plummeted in July, going 8-19 with a -77.

Nathan Eovaldi has struggled with lower back inflammation since coming back from the In. He’s coming in with an 11.08 ERA in three starts in July, including the season’s second-shortest start (2.2). The shortest was against his opponent tonight, going just 1.2 innings allowing six earned, including five home runs.

Luis Garcia has lacked consistency throughout the season, and it’s especially noticeable that the Astros are loaded with dependable starters. His biggest problem recently has been trouble with his control, allowing ten walks in his last 23.1. His start against the Red Sox did not go well, allowing five runs (three earned) with three walks.

Even with Garcia not pitching so well, the Red Sox offense may not take advantage of it as they’ve gone cold over the last couple of weeks with the third-lowest average since July 15 (.223).

What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands.
