This bet is a fade on Marlins 37 year old starter Johnny Cueto. The Marlins are 1-5 in the 6 starts Cueto has made since joining the team. His ERA and FIP metrics are both north of 5. Cueto is allowing an average of over 2 home runs per 9 innings, which is the worst of his 16 year MLB career. On the Astros side of this pitching matchup is Christian Javier. Walking batters has been a problem for Javier this season, but he has allowed 4 hits or less in 5 consecutive starts. We like Houston’s edge in the starting pitching matchup, bullpen, and offensively. Our wager is on the Astros moneyline.
