Oakland Athletics vs. Houston Astros - Osvaldo Bido vs. Spencer Arrighetti (8:10 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (-115) at FanDuel

With less than 20 games left to be played in the regular season, the Houston Astros are inching closer to securing the AL West division title as they enter the final stretch of play with a 4.5 game lead over the Seattle Mariners. They are not out of the woods just yet as they will need to continue to ward off the Mariners as the loser of the AL West division title race will miss out on the playoffs as neither team currently holds one of the three wildcard spots.

Should the Astros want to pad their lead over the Mariners in the division standings, then their offense must continue to play as one of the best units in the league as they currently rank near the top of the board in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage. Their top of the order plays a major part in their elite marks on offense, a unit that has recently welcomed Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman back from injury.

With their top of the order intact, the Astros possess more than enough production to neutralize any productive arm on the mound. That includes the Athletics rotational pitcher Osvaldo Bido who has excelled at limiting the number of opposing runners on base as his WHIP of 1.089 indicates. With Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Tucker, and Alex Bregman kicking things off, expect Bido to struggle against their elite blend of power and contact ability.

As for the Astros, they roll out Spencer Arrighetti who has continued to mightily struggle in his 2024 campaign. While the Athletics offense ranks below league average in the same previously mentioned offensive metrics, they will be given an opportunity to play at a more competitive rate against the struggling Astros pitcher as he enters the contest with an ERA of 4.82, a WHIP of 1.432, and FIP of 4.22 in 25 games played.

Baltimore Orioles vs. Boston Red Sox - Albert Suarez vs. Kutter Crawford (7:10 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (-113) at FanDuel

After successfully cashing the YRFI in their previous contest, we go back to the well by taking the YRFI in the next game of their series as the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox will be in a position to open up the scoring early. The Orioles will also be entering the contest with a higher sense of urgency as the New York Yankees have started to pull away with a 1.5 game lead in the AL East division standings.

Should the Orioles want to round back into form and close the gap between them and the Yankees, then their offense will need to take advantage of their matchup against the Red Sox Kutter Crawford as he has struggled with limiting opposing scoring production as his ERA of 4.08 and FIP of 4.64 indicates. To make matters worse for Crawford, his back end also gives him little to no support as the Red Sox defense ranks 22nd overall in Defensive Efficiency.

On the other side of the field, the Orioles roll out Albert Suarez who has struggled with keeping opposing runners out of scoring position. With a WHIP of 1.306 and an average of nearly one Hit Against per Inning Pitched, expect Suarez to struggle with neutralizing a Red Sox offense that ranks near the top of the board in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage.
