Available at FanDuel. My model has the Astros at 64.1% to win, up from 59.0% implied. I assume it's largely due to the starting-pitching matchup. Framber Valdez has upped his velocity this year, adding strikeouts to an already-stellar profile. His SIERA across five starts is 2.98. On the other side, Aaron Nola's velocity continues to be low, and it has led to pretty poor advanced numbers. I'm expecting Nola to revert back to his old self, but even with that, my numbers still show value on the Astros.
