The Houston Astros, coming off a 1-0 victory within the collection opener, look to proceed to construct on their momentum as they host the Philadelphia Phillies for the second sport of this interleague collection at Daikin Park on Wednesday, June 25, with first pitch scheduled for 8:10pm ET.

The Astros are sending Colton Gordon (2-1, 4.54 ERA) to the mound, aiming to safe a collection win in opposition to a fellow division-leader. The Phillies, who already delivered an awesome pitching efficiency within the first sport, will counter with their ace, Zack Wheeler (7-2, 2.61 ERA), as they attempt to even the collection. Each groups proceed to navigate vital accidents, as none of Bryce Harper, Yordan Alvarez, or Chas McCormick will play tonight – to not point out the laundry record of pitchers Houston is with out. See all the percentages for tonight’s Phillies vs Astros matchup and my picks for the sport beneath.

Astros vs Phillies Picks & Predictions

• Finest wager: Underneath 7.5 runs (-115 at BetMGM)

I just like the beneath (7.5) on this sport for 2 fundamental causes: (1) the accidents to big-time bats on all sides, and (2) the pitchers taking the mound for all sides. The Astros are within the bottom-half of the league in runs scored per sport, and outdoors of Christian Walker, don’t have anybody within the lineup who has loved a lot success in opposition to Zack Wheeler.

Whereas I do suspect the Phillies lefty-mashing lineup to get to Colton Gordon, I don’t imagine Houston will go away their 26-year-old in there too lengthy, particularly if he’s getting knocked round. Gordon has solely gone greater than 5 innings in two of seven begins this season. The earlier the Astros flip the sport over to their bullpen, the higher for this wager. Houston’s relievers are sporting a 3.26 ERA, which is second-best within the MLB.

On high of that, Daikin Park isn’t probably the most hitter-friendly subject within the Majors. It’s fairly common by way of producing runs and residential runs. The over has hit in solely 3 of the Astros’ final 10 dwelling video games, and in solely 16 of their 41 video games at dwelling this season (39%). For the Phillies, the over has hit in simply 3 of their final 10 street video games.

In case you’re on the lookout for a same-game parlay to play for the sport tonight, right here’s what I’m betting at bet365, utilizing their 30% MLB SGP increase:

SGP Picks

• Zach Wheeler 6+ Ks
• Phillies Moneyline
• Trea Turner 1+ Hits

This SGP comes out to +140 odds previous to the 30% increase.

Wheeler has struckout no less than six batters in 14 of 15 begins this season, which incorporates 9 Ks in opposition to the Blue Jays (second-fewest SO/gm) and seven and eight Ks in his two begins in opposition to the Nationals (fourth-fewest). Although the Astros don’t strikeout a lot, they do strikeout greater than each of these groups. With out Alvarez within the lineup, I believe Wheeler will report no less than six extra Ks tonight.

I just like the Phillies moneyline on this SGP, as I believe their lineup will benefit from the LHP they’re going to face tonight. I like Wheeler to go deep into this one and switch issues over to his bullpen with a comnfortable lead.

Enjoying off that prediction of the Phillies profitable this sport, Trea Turner has been nice in opposition to LHP this season, averaging .306 in 98 ABs. I anticipate him to get no less than two ABs in opposition to the lefty Gordon tonight.

The Houston Astros are navigating a minefield of accidents, significantly to their pitching employees with a number of starters on the 60-day IL. Nevertheless, these beginning pitchers being on the IL doesn’t have an effect on tonight’s sport, as we knew they weren’t beginning anyhow.

The group is eighth in runs scored per sport they usually have loved a variety of success in opposition to LHP. When going through lefties, the Phillies are sixth in BA, fifth in OBP, seventh in SLG, and fourth in HRs.

Gordon has been good in opposition to left-handed batters, solely permitting a .233 BA and .258 OBP. Nevertheless, he’ll solely face three lefty bats tonight.
