The Houston Astros have been on fire, winners of nine of their last ten games.

A big part of Houston's success is Jose Altuve, currently the reigning American League MVP, he leads the majors with a .343 batting average.

Altuve went 3-for-4 with two home runs off Nathan Eovaldi in the Astros' 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.

Dallas Keuchel takes the mound Friday after a much needed bounce back game against the Royals in Kansas City where he was able to get his first win since mid May. The Royals Danny Duffy gave up 7 runs, 6 earned, just last week against Houston.

Saturday features an erratic Ian Kennedy of the Royals facing off against Lance McCullers Jr., who was able to sustain a steady string of 4 quality starts since giving up 7 in Cleveland but has yet to win in his last three.

Houston area bookies will require a solid Pay Per head this season to cut their losses.

It gets no better for the Astros this weekend as they face off against a Royals team that has one of the worst records in the league.

Houston has won four straight against KC and six of the last eight.

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
