1. Houston Astros to Cover the Spread (+1.5)
- Odds: +133 (1.73)
- Why: The Astros have a 54.2% win rate as underdogs, and their 3.53 ERA (10th in MLB) suggests they’ll limit damage. Colton Gordon (5.20 ERA in 2024) faces a Phillies lineup that’s 21st in on-base percentage (.307).

- Under 7.5 Total Runs (-110)
- Odds: -110 (1.91)
- Why: The Astros’ 1.159 WHIP and 3.53 ERA pair with Gordon’s 4.80 career ERA against LHPs (Phillies’ lineup is 26th in lefty on-base percentage). The Phillies’ 4.7 R/G average is inflated by 12 walk-off wins; their 83 HRs are offset by a 3.45 team ERA (15th).
Combined Odds:
+133 (Astros spread) x -110 (Under) = +120
Total Implied Probability: ~45.5%
Key Stats to Watch
- Astros’ Underdog Magic: 13-7 as underdogs this season (54.2%), including 5-2 ATS.
- Phillies’ Power vs. Pitching Matchup: 83 HRs (4th MLB) vs. Gordon’s 1.4 HR/9 rate.
- Total Runs Context: 7.5 is the lowest total in this week’s NL slate; both teams rank 16th/9th in scoring but 10th/20th in run prevention.
Why This Works
- The Astros’ +1.5 spread gives them a safety net (win or lose by 1 run). Their pitching staff’s 3.53 ERA vs. the Phillies’ 4.7 R/G average creates a mismatch.
- The Under 7.5 total hinges on Gordon’s ability to limit damage and the Phillies’ .307 OBP (21st) struggling against a deep Astros bullpen.
Final Verdict: A smart, balanced parlay leveraging the Astros’ underdog edge and the game’s low-scoring potential. Take it at FanDuel for the best odds. 🎯
