hit by pitch

  • Tuesday, February 18, 2020

Las Vegas - There has been a ton of blowback on Commissioner Rob Manfred's decision to punish the Astros. Manfred has also talked about punishing pitchers for throwing at any of the Houston players. We all know they're GONNA get plunked. But the real question is, as always, can we make any money? How about a prop on which Astro will get hit the most? Obviously, they're gonna look to buzz the high profile players, and Alex Bregman is the betting favorite to get hit the most at even money. George Springer is 2/1, Jose Altuve is 3-1, and Carlos Correa is 7/2. You can get the field, which is the rest of the team, at 4/1. Thinking that the Altuve price at 3/1 is really generous, and might push a few chips in to the center of the table.

And of course, there's an Over/Under prop on how many times Houston batters will be plunked. The O/U total is 82.5, and that actually seems kinda low to me. Need to study a little more before opening the wallet on this prop.
