Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

Astros vs. Mariners UNDER 7.5 (-118)
Blue Jays +110 vs. Red Sox
Royals -112 vs. Twins

Astros vs. Mariners Prediction

The Astros and Mariners have been two of the worst offenses in the Majors this season. The Astros rank 26th in batting average at .202 and the Mariners are 28th at .199. The Astros also rank dead last in OPS at .573.

On top of that, the Hunter Brown gets the start for the Astros. He dominated the Mariners last season, sporting a 1.61 ERA through four starts against them.

The smart move is to bet the UNDER in this AL West showdown.

Pick: Astros/Mariners UNDER 7.5 (-118)

Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Prediction

I was high on the Blue Jays heading into the season but a tough Opening Day loss scared me away from them. Now, two weeks later, I'm back in on them. The lineup has talent and their rotation is one of the more solid rotations in the American League. Offensively, they're already sixth in batting average and 13th in OPS.

Tonight, they start their ace, Kevin Gausman, who will face off against Tanner Houck, who has allowed seven earned runs in just 9.2 innings so far this season.

I'll take the Jays as road underdogs in Boston tonight.

Pick: Blue Jays +110

Twins vs. Royals Prediction

The Minnesota Twins are batting just .201 this season while ranking 29th in OPS at .578. At those numbers, I have no faith in them in a coin-flip spot on the road against the Kansas City Royals, who outrank them in all offensive categories.

Seth Lugo gets the start for the Royals, who is coming off a fantastic 2024 season where he recorded an ERA of 3.00. I'm surprised the Royals aren't bigger favorites tonight. I'll take the bait.

Pick: Royals -112
