Picks for 4/9/24
MLB
7:40 PM EST
Rotation #920
Royals -110 over Astros (win)
Ragans/Javier
The Astros are in the middle of a road trip facing a Royals team playing well at home and hitting right-handers with power. Astros starter Christian Javier has not allowed a run in two starts, but his numbers are not overwhelming as he walks a lot of batters and has luckily gotten out of jams. Pitching on the road is more challenging than in your park. Houston could be better against left-handed pitching, but they should struggle to keep up tonight. Take the Royals.
