Luis Castillo Was Handcrafted By God Himself For This Moment - Astros vs. Mariners (LIVE BLOG)

First order of business is drawing your attention to the hottest bet on the internet:

We're up +13.75 units this week. Super hot. Rolling away like a couple of sharp whales. Play it under exclusives tab as you have about 30 minutes to first pitch. 

If you need some convincing on the expertise...

Astros vs. Mariners breakdown here: 

Point is we know the Mariners are dead from Alvarez. But completely dead? Like dead as a door nail? 

Absolutely not. 

These are dogs. Grinders. A group of men that's been traded a collective 200 times to get to this playoff roster. And on the mound is a guy the Astros simply haven't seen that often. Limited scouting report and personal experience is a huge advantage against the Astros. This isn't like Castillo has to figure them out. It's the other way around. 

Opposite him is Framber Valdez. He's fresh as all hell. Jake says that helps him. I think it works against him but I didn't win a Cy Young with a power sinker. So Jake knows a bit more than me on the topic but even so I stand by my analysis. It's taken me this far. I think it's enough of a coin flip. 

Ultimately though there should be no runs in this game. 1-0. 2-1. Something like that. Buy the under all the way down if you must but 6.5 is such a big number to me after Game 1. Just a massive number. Six and a half. Like those old Steelers totals that were 33.5 on a Sunday afternoon in Denver in the mid 2000's. Those were classic days and I think they're back today in Houston. 

Official play: under 6.5

Smartest play: hit this prop
