1.25u

Brown is over this line in 3/5 starts this season, with 11+ whiffs in each of his last 4 games. SFG is running at a 26% K% vs RHP this season (same % over the L2 weeks), which leads the MLB. They rank in the top 9 of both swinging and called strike rates, putting themselves in plenty of 2-strike counts. Plus, with two straight starters leaving the game (including Garcia after 8 pitches yesterday), the Astros will need some length from Brown. They won’t push their young ace for the sake of pushing him, but it does add some comfort around his workload.

HOU -180 (F5)
