Runline & Total Points
With just a 1.5-point runline, and plus odds on the Astros, bettors could not have asked for a better gift on Wednesday night. The fact that there is a 3.6 run differential on runs allowed between the two should be the first indication of taking the Astros to cover. In the Astros win last night over the Guardians, they had no issues with a 7-3 final score.
On the game total, with just 1.7 runs allowed per game for Javier and 5.3 allowed for Quantrill, there is some value in the under. Combined, it cuts it close to the set total as they are allowing 7 runs combined. In the two games played already in the series, they are 1-1 on the over/under.
Overall Betting Trends
Backing the Astros, even more, is that in May alone as a home favorite, they are 22-8. In 2022 as a road underdog, Cleveland has gone 5-11.
The public is also heavily lying on the Astros to pull this one off with 70% of moneyline bets and 76% of bets to cover the spread.
