Will Priester’s Rockies vs Astros Preview
Rockies starter Chase Dollander should have a tough time at the plate versus the Astros.
As Houston has gotten healthy and made a few trades, they seem to be back to the type of team that we have been accustomed to seeing over the past few seasons.
The Astros have low strikeouts, lots of contact, and the occasional double-digit run game.
Dollander struggles with lefties, and Jesus Sanchez has too many hitters in front of him for me not to take this prop.
This is one of my favorites of the day.
Pick: Jesus Sanchez Over 1.5 Hits+Runs+Rbis (-135, DraftKings)
