This will the third and the final pick for tonight. The Astros open the second part of their MLB season at Angel Stadium of Anaheim playing the local Halos in tight series.
| PLAYER | W-L | ERA | SO | WHIP | IP | H | BB | HR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D. Keuchel | 7-8 | 3.75 | 93 | 1.30 | 122.1 | 126 | 33 | 12 |
| T. Skaggs | 7-5 | 2.57 | 105 | 1.20 | 98.0 | 90 | 28 | 8 |
The line for the first 5 innings totals stands at 4.5 while both pitchers can easily go all 5 innings and doing so in the form they are lately - we can expect 3 runs at most. In combined 75+ innings pitched in the last 6 games for each - Keuchel and Skaggs - there were only 18 runs scored. That's an average of 2.4 runs in 5 innings (10 combined innings). Easy under in the first 5 innings.
Under 4.5 First 5 Innings -115
