The Astros have scored 25 runs over their last five games and are averaging 4.69 runs per contest for the year. Pittsburgh manager Derek Shelton has not named a starter for this game and his club ranks 12th in the majors with a 3.83 ERA. The Astros got to rookie SP Paul Skenes for two runs in five innings last night. 

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 .311 batting average and 60 runs scored. Jose has failed to record a hit just twice in 21 games this month and has cashed this prop 13 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 last Sunday and is a good bet to go deep against a Pittsburgh bullpen that ranks in the bottom third of the majors with a 4.32 ERA.

Pick: Yordan Alvarez Over 0.5 Home Runs
