MLB : 2* PHI/HOU OVER
It’s hard to believe that as disappointing a season that both the Phillies and Astros have endured to this point; both are still within mathematical distance of a division and wildcard respectively.
Tonight these 2 teams will square off once again at Minute Maid with the last 3 in the series playing over the posted total.
Houston has played over the total in 10 of their last 13 games overall and 21 of 30 this season when facing teams that strike out 7 or more times per game. Carlos Hernandez has started 2 games this season allowing 10 runs on 16 hits thru 10 IP with both going over the total.
As for the Phillies they have played over the total in 5 of their last 6 games. Brett Myers has also gotten drilled his last couple of outings (both over) giving up 12 runs on 13 hits in 9+ IP.
