Lance McCullers u15.5 Outs -140
McCullers succeeds by throwing lots and lots of breaking pitches, and he throws his slider and curveball nearly 50% of the time. The Phillies are one of the better offenses in baseball against breaking pitches, with an xwOBA of 0.284, which is the fourth-best in the league. They should be able to make McCullers work.
Jose Altuve o1.5 TB +135
The change in pitcher may be beneficial to Altuve. He’s struggled early this Postseason, but he had a big Game 2, and I anticipate him keeping it rolling tonight. His wRC+ of 207 against southpaws is the best on the Astros, and he has an ISO over 0.300.
Yordan Alvarez o0.5 HR +450
Alvarez does great with pitches down in the zone and has had a ton of success against lefties this season. Ranger Suarez attacks that area of the zone frequently and, as a result, should give Alvarez a bunch of pitches he can do damage with.
