00:00Let's get to one final game before we give you a best bet in Houston.

00:07The Astros, a minus 225 favorite against one of the worst teams in the National League.

00:12That's the Miami Marlins.

00:13And you see that large money line distinction, eight and a half is the total DRS on FanDuel.

00:20It says the Astros have yet to name their starter.

00:22What are you seeing?

00:23It looks like Ronel Blanco is what we're gathering right now.

00:26Blanco certainly is a better pitcher this season, at least the last 60 days, than Trevor

00:30Rodgers.

00:31If you take a look at Trevor Rodgers, a 115 XFIP minus number, and that equates to an

00:35XFIP of 4.60, so not very good.

00:38But if we are taking a look at that lineup, Blanco, if he is the starter, he's done fairly

00:42well over the past 30 days, 122 batters he's faced, a 260 weighted on base percentage,

00:47which is pretty good.

00:48And you take a look at that lineup, boy, it leaves a lot to be desired here, Ben, for

00:51the Marlins.

00:52So for my money, of course, you're thinking a minus 200 favorite or better is going to

00:56win.

00:57But having said that, maybe even looking at more of an under at this point in this game.

01:01But no real feel for this other than, yes, the Astros should win.
