The Astros have been playing well recently by going 7-3 in their last ten games. Scoring over seven runs in four of their previous five.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Baltimore is sending out Dean Kremer, who has been up and down all year. His numbers are worse in Baltimore. His ERA is two runs higher at home than on the road (5.35 v 3.70) and in day vs night games (5.88 v 3.98). Add in the fact that four Astros hitters have over a .300 lifetime average off of Kremer, and it looks like a difficult task for the Oriole right-hander.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take the Astros team total to go o4.5 at -135, or the Astros ML at -120.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ATLANTA BRAVES VS PITTSBURGH PIRATES: MICHAEL HARRIS II o1.5 TB (+130)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Michael Harris went off on Wednesday night: 3-4, double, walk, and stolen base.

Looking closer at the numbers, Harris hits better in a day vs. night game (.325 v .273), LHP vs. RHP (.301 v .289), and has been hitting over .400 since the All-Star break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Falter will lean on his four-seam fastball (.343 opp avg), and Harris has hit the fastball well this year (.338 avg and .500 SLG).

He slashes .386\/.444\/.614 in his last 15 games, and three of his 22 hits have been home runs. Plus, Bohm is hitting .330 against lefties this season and slashing .291\/.344\/491 in his career against the Nationals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Corbin throws his slider and sinker 77% of the time this season, and it has been seen well by hitters, who have slugged a .550xSLG and a .481xSLG against them in 2023. Bohm\u2019s xBA of .283 and .292 on these pitches in 2023 favors him well tonight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take Bohm\u2019s over total bases prop (-125), over 1.5 hits (+135), or his home run prop (+380) for a solid play on Thursday night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credits: Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/>Players Mentioned: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/l\/lorenmi01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Lorenzen<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/o\/ohtansh01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shohei Ohtani<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/h\/hancoem01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Emerson Hancock<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/v\/vottojo01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joey Votto<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/cuetojo01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Johnny Cueto<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/reynobr01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bryan Reynolds<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/f\/freemfr01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Freddie Freeman<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/f\/flaheja01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jack Flaherty<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/k\/kremede01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dean Kremer<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/h\/harrimi04.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Harris II<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/f\/falteba01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bailey Falter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bohmal01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alec Bohm<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/corbipa01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patrick Corbin<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday was a wild day of baseball capping off with\u00a0Philadelphia Phillies\u2019 Michael Lorenzen throwing the 14th no-hitter in team history against the\u00a0Washington Nationals.
