Astros vs Angels Preview, Prediction
Action PRO projects Angels star Mike Trout for 0.38 home runs in tonight's matchup against the Astros, giving us a nice 8.1% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 0.5, which is good enough to tag the over with a B- grade in our system.
Trout is priced at FanDuel at +330, implying a 23-24% chance to hit a dinger in this game.
However, PRO projects him for 0.38 homers, which means a fair price closer to +163.
The opposing pitcher will be the Astros' Peter Lambert, who had a great start to the season but has struggled lately, with a 4.45 ERA over the last 30 days.
Trout has already hit 14 balls out of the park this season, although he hasn't hit one since May 30.
Trout is going through a slump, but a batter of his caliber should bounce back anytime, and he's got a chance to do it tonight, not only facing Lambert but also an atrocious Houston bullpen that ranks 26th in the majors in ERA with 4.87.
At a great value, let's back Trout to get another homer tonight against the Astros.
Pick: Mike Trout Home Run (+330, FanDuel)
