Tigers vs Astros MLB Betting Preview
Action PRO projects Astros starter Peter Lambert for 6.09 strikeouts in tonight’s matchup against the Tigers, giving us a solid 11.4% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 5.5, which is good enough to tag the Over with a B grade in our system.
Tigers vs Astros Pick, Betting Analysis
Lambert has recorded 53 strikeouts this season and has quietly been one of the more reliable pitchers in this range of the strikeout market. Over his last five starts, he has cleared this number three times, posting six and five strikeouts in those outings. Expanding the sample size, he has gone over the mark in six of his last 10 starts.
The projection model is even more optimistic, expecting 6.09 strikeouts and creating a meaningful gap between the projection and the betting line.
One reason to like the Over is Lambert’s ability to work deep enough into games to give himself opportunities to rack up punchouts. When he's locating effectively, he has shown he can consistently reach the sixth inning and face a lineup three times through the order.
While he isn't an elite strikeout artist, he has been remarkably consistent around this range all season. That's important when backing this type of prop, as he doesn't need a career-best performance to cash the ticket.
Pick: Peter Lambert Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+120, FanDuel)
