Pick: Astros Moneyline (-125)

The Astros' recent dominance over the Royals, combined with their home-field advantage, makes them the safer pick in this matchup.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Yordan Alvarez Over 1.5 Total Bases (+110)

Yordan Alvarez has been a consistent force in the Astros' lineup. With his ability to hit for power and get on base, he is a strong candidate to surpass 1.5 total bases. Facing a Royals pitching staff that has struggled against left-handed hitters, Alvarez is poised for a big night.

2. Bobby Witt Jr. Over 0.5 Stolen Bases (+150)

Bobby Witt Jr. is one of the fastest players in the league and has been aggressive on the basepaths. With the Astros' catcher struggling to control the running game, Witt Jr. has a great opportunity to swipe a bag in this contest.

3. Framber Valdez Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-120)

Framber Valdez has been a strikeout machine this season, and the Royals' lineup has shown a tendency to swing and miss. With Valdez's ability to mix his pitches effectively, he should have no trouble racking up at least seven strikeouts in this game.
