Opening Odds: Houston -144/9
The Houston Astros slow start to the 2019 season is a thing of the past, as they are running away with the American League West and now set their sites on the National League for the next couple of days when they host the Milwaukee Brewers in a two-game interleague series. Houston started out 2-5, but now own the best mark after 67 games in franchise history at 45-22 by going 27-8 in its last 35 games. All of this is being done without injured stars Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, and George Springer, as the young call-ups have picked up the slack. Houston, who has won five straight series and is 10-0-1 in its last 11 series, got a two-run homer from Yordan Alvarez in just his second career at-bat in Sunday’s 4-0 win over Baltimore. The 21-year-old Cuban mashed a minor league-most 23 home runs in 56 games this season with Triple-A Round Rock. Milwaukee comes into this series with a slim half-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in an NL Central race that looks like its just between those two. The Brewers have won four straight after sweeping three from Pittsburgh, but are just 1-4 in interleague play this season. Milwaukee’s Mike Moustakas is 8-for-20 with four homers and six RBI in his last five games to bring his season totals to 20 HR and 43 runs knocked-in.
Pitchers: Brewers – Freddy Peralta (3-2, 5.11 ERA) | Astros – Brad Peacock (5-3, 3.20)
Freddy Peralta has bounced back-and-forth between the bullpen and rotation, but will get his eighth start of the season on Tuesday after limiting the Miami Marlins to one run and four hits with nine strikeouts in six innings of a 5-1 victory Thursday. It was his first start since My 13th when he allowed two runs – one earned – and seven hits in just four innings of work in a 7-4 loss to Philadelphia. Peralta, who has never faced Houston, has a 4.34 ERA away from home while allowing 23 hits in 18.2 innings.

With Brad Peacock firmly back in the rotation full-time, he’s started to go from the wind-up with the bases empty and it seems to paying dividends. In six starts since making the change, Peacock is 3-1 with a 1.32 ERA and 0.94 WHIP but took the loss last time out versus Seattle when he allowed two runs and four hits over five innings. Peacock, who will get his first crack at Milwaukee, owns a 2.38 ERA at home and the Astros are 5-1 when he starts at Minute Maid Park.
I kind of thought this line would be higher with the way Peacock has been pitching, especially at home, but I can see the oddsmakers hesitation with the big bats out for Houston. Those injuries don’t seem to be affecting the team much thanks to the strong pitching they’re getting. The Astros are 18-3 in game one of a series and should be able to knock-off the Brewers here at home.
