After failing to cash the YRFI in the first game of their series, we go back to the well by backing the Houston Astros offense to open up the scoring early against the Athletics Osvaldo Bido in his second start this season. Before that takes place, we target the NL Central matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers as both offenses are in a position to succeed from the opening pitch.

Houston Astros vs. Oakland Athletics - Jake Bloss vs. Osvaldo Bido (9:40 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (-115) at FanDuel

After their first contest resulted in zero runs in the first inning, we target game two of their series as both offenses get the benefit of facing off against two rotational pitchers. That bodes well for the top heavy Astros offense as the Athletics Osvaldo Bido will have to face off against the likes of league leading Hits contender Jose Altuve, elite slugger Alex Bregman, and the devastating power of Yordan Alvarez in his second start this season.

With their production, the Astros offense has played as one of the best units in the league as they currently rank well above league average in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage. Their offense has had to carry a brunt of their production over the course of the season and are a major reason why they are currently contending for the AL West division title after a rough start to their year.

Expect their elite top of the order to bounce back after an underwhelming performance in game one as the Athletics Osvaldo Bido has struggled with his command in his 2024 campaign. In seven games played and 18.1 Innings Pitched, Bido has already walked 11 batters and possesses a WHIP of 1.255. With Altuve excelling at getting on base, expect early scoring opportunities with Bregman and Yordan’s elite contact ability following after.

As for the Athletics, their offense has been abysmal as they currently rank well below league average across the board in the same previously mentioned offensive metrics. Fortunately for their offense, they get the opportunity to build some success against the Astros Jake Bloss who has equally struggled in his minimal starts so far this season. In two games played, Bloss enters the contest with an ERA of 4.70 and a WHIP of 1.565.

Bet on Over 0.5 Run (-115) at FanDuel

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs - Colin Rea vs. Jameson Taillon (8:05 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (+100) at FanDuel

After entering the year listed as high as +1000 to win the NL Central title, the Milwaukee Brewers swiftly climbed up the standings and have held on to the top spot of the division for a majority of the season. As for the Cubs, they were listed as the preseason favorites to win the division but are now currently in fourth place and nine games back from first.

Should the Cubs want to salvage their season, then taking advantage of the Brewers struggling Colin Rea would help them get back on track as he has underwhelmed in his efforts to avoid contact while striking out at a low rate. Entering the contest with a WHIP of 1.210, 76 Total Strikeouts, 96 Hits Against, and 44 Earned Runs Allowed, expect the Cubs offense to round back into form and get into scoring position early and often.

As for the Brewers, their offense has been one of the better units in the league as they rank near the top of the board in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage. Every bit of their production will be needed against the Cubs Jameson Taillon as he has had a respectable start to his season. Taillon takes the mound with an ERA of 3.10, a WHIP of 1.161, 90 Hits Against, and 32 Earned Runs Allowed.

Bet on Over 0.5 Run (+100) at FanDuel
