Total: 7.50 | -115.00 Under
Result: Loss
This total opened too low in a pitching matchup of Roberto Hernandez versus J.A. Happ. These are bottom of the rotation starters who are lucky to be on big league rosters. Their ERA's look OK now so we have a fairly low total. But that window is going to close fast.
The Astros know Happ, who pitched for them three years ago, and have hammered nine homers in four road games this season.
The Mariners have a pair of hot hitters in Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano, both of whom have strong histories against the well-traveled Hernandez, who is pitching for his fifth team since 2012. Cruz has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games smashing eight homers and driving in 16 runs during this span. Cano is riding an eight-game hitting streak.
Cano is a lifetime .423 hitter against Hernandez in 26 career at bats, while Cruz has hit three homers off Hernandez in 18 lifetime at bats against him.
