Houston Astros MLB Prop Bets - Friday 7/26/24

In late April, the Houston Astros were 12 games below .500 and trapped in the AL West Division basement. Houston enters this series winners of 28 of their first 49 home games and have moved a game ahead of Seattle for first place. The Astros (53-49) feature one of the most potent lineups in baseball and offer plenty of prop cashing value. For other MLB news see our MLB Picks. 

Houston Astros Over 4.5 Runs 

Jose Altuve Over 1.5 Hits, Runs, and RBIs 

Yordan Alvarez Over 0.5 Home Runs 

Houston Astros 

The Houston Astros currently rank eighth in OPS and are clearly the best hitting team in the division. The Astros have scored just 34 runs over their last ten games and are averaging 4.69 runs per contest for the year. Houston will look to jump on Los Angeles SP Gavin Stone (3.19 ERA), who has given up nine runs over his last 12 plus innings. 

Pick: Houston Astros Over 4.5 Runs

Jose Altuve 

Jose Altuve has been one of the best leadoff hitters in baseball over the last decade. The thirty-four year old Altuve leads the team with a .307 batting average and 59 runs scored. Jose has failed to record a hit just twice in 17 games this month and has cashed this prop 11 times during that stretch.

Pick: Jose Altuve Over 1.5 Hits, Runs, and RBIs 

Yordan Alvarez

Houston OF Yordan Alvarez has cemented himself as one of the top power hitters in the majors and has clubbed 101 home runs over the last three full seasons. Alvarez has been hot over the last few weeks and holds the club lead with 20 home runs. Yordan hit for the cycle on Sunday and is a good bet to go deep against Stone, who has surrendered one long ball in each of his last three starts. 

Pick: Yordan Alvarez Over 0.5 Home Runs
