Red Sox vs. Astros Best MLB Prop Bets

Astros Best MLB Prop Bet

Yordan Alvarez OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-137)

Yordan Alvarez battled through injuries that limited him to just 48 games last season, but he still had a .797 OPS in a down year. He’s looking healthy now, though, going 6 for 24 through five games with two home runs and a double.

Alvarez has also fared well against Bello in his career. He is 3 for 6 against the right-hander, with one of those hits leaving the yard.

Red Sox vs. Astros Prediction and Pick

Brown already has one start under his belt for Houston, and he shoved twice in a two-week span against Boston last year. The young righthander allowed 2 ER in 13.2 innings across those two starts.

The Red Sox have scored just 11 runs through four games, including 3 runs in their last two contests.

Houston was a good home team last season at 46-35, and I’ll back them at home again tonight.

Pick: Astros -149
