1u – Red Sox / Astros YRFI (-105 @ DK)


This is a wild line to me. Getting this for nearly plus odds feels like incredible value. First off, Houston has been absolutely lightning up the 1st inning as of late. Prior to last night, Houston had scored in the 1st inning in 6 straight games. Since Correa has returned home, he and the team have been given a jolt of energy. Houston is facing off against Dustin May who holds a 6.63 1st inning ERA on the season. On the flip side we have Boston who score the 2nd most 1st inning runs in the league. They face off against Spencer Arrighetti who hold a 7.43 ERA over his 3 starts on the year. I can see either team doing the job for us here. The cherry on top is that this game features temperatures in the mid 90’s and wind blowing out to left. Lets roll!
