MLB Same-Game Parlay Odds – HOU vs. TEX (+372)

Over 8.5 Runs

Both teams have strong offensive lineups that are capable of scoring runs. The Houston Astros have a team batting average of .269, which is the second-highest in the league. The Texas Rangers, while not as strong as the Astros, still have a respectable team batting average of .251

Also, both teams have struggled with pitching this season, which could lead to more runs being scored. The Houston Astros have an earned run average (ERA) of 3.58, which is slightly better than the Texas Rangers' ERA of 3.81. While Javier has been consistent for the Astros this year, his counterpart Martin has certainly been lackluster all season long.

Marcus Semien to Record 1+ Hits

Marcus Semien has had success against Cristian Javier in the past. He is batting .267 (4-for-15) with 1 RBI and 5 walks. He has been playing well recently, hitting .444 (4-for-9) in his last two games during this series with the Astros. Semien also has done well hitting against right-handed pitching with a .282 batting average with 10 home runs, and 46 RBIs in 282 plate appearances.

Jose Altuve to Record 1+ Hits

Jose Altuve has had success against Martin Perez in the past. During his career against Martin Perez, he is hitting .286 (16-for-56) with 9 doubles, 7 RBIs, and 4 walks. Altuve has been smashing the ball over his last six games with a .310 batting average, 3 home runs, 8 RBIs, and 5 walks. He also has hit safely in five out of his last six games. Going against a familiar foe while on this nice little hit streak, getting just 1+ hits should be a breeze for Altuve during this afternoon game.

Cristian Javier Over 5 Strikeouts

Cristian Javier has shown an ability to strike out batters in the past. In a game earlier this season, Javier struck out 10 batters in just 3 2/3 innings. Additionally, in his rookie season, Javier struck out 54 batters in just 54 innings pitched. This season he has struck out 78 batters in 87 innings pitched coming into the All-Star Break. 

While the Texas Rangers have a strong offensive lineup, they also strike out a lot. The Rangers strikeout an average of 8.77 times per game which is 17th in the league. Since they produce a ton of runs, there is a ton of swings and misses that Javier can capitalize on in this matchup. Javier has had a ton of success against the Rangers in his career with a 2.90 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 13 appearances which is good for 5.2 strikeouts per game but he has racked up 31 strikeouts in his last four starts.
