MLB Betting Trends
Houston
The Astros are 5-0 in their last five interleague games. Houston is 4-1 in the last five Greinke starts.
Milwaukee
The Brewers are 5-1 in the last six Lyles starts. Milwaukee is 1-4 in its last five home games.
Prediction:
Greinke has fit in well in the Astros rotation as was expected and it still seems like he has more to offer. While Lyles has been pretty solid for Milwaukee, I like the way the Astros have been carving out victories lately and I think it continues here. Go with the road favorites in this spot.
