Bubba Chandler has had more downs than ups this season. He had 11 strikeouts in 5 shutout innings against the Blue Jays two starts ago, but that was sandwiched between two starts in which he allowed four earned runs each.

Mike Burrows recovered from a pair of rough starts with seven innings of two-run ball against the Rangers last time out. He allowed seven runs in 5.2 innings to the Mariners in his last home start, though.

Pirates vs. Astros Best MLB Prop Bets

Pirates Best MLB Prop Bet

Bryan Reynolds OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-130)

Bryan Reynolds had the worst season of his career last year, and it looked like that might be the new norm to start this season. However, he’s bounced back nicely in recent weeks.

Reynolds’ eight-game hitting streak was snapped on Sunday, but he still scored two runs to keep his OVER 1.5 HRR streak going. He’s now gone OVER 1.5 HRR in six straight games and 15 of 19 dating back to early May.

The veteran gets plenty of chances to put up counting stats batting third in the lineup for Pittsburgh.

Pirates vs. Astros Prediction and Pick

Burrows gives the Astros a slight advantage on the mound over Chandler, and he’ll be amped up to face his former team. Chandler may be able to give the Pirates

Despite Pittsburgh’s hot stretch, they’ve still struggled on the road in recent weeks. Meanwhile, the Astros have worked their way back into contention after an awful start.

I’ll back Burrows and the Astros at home tonight.

Pick: Astros -114
