Pitcher Prop Prediction 1: Steven Matz Under 15.5 Outs (-105)<\/h2>\n

St Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Steven Matz is having a forgettable season with an 0-7 record, 4.86 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 76 innings of work.<\/p>\n

He has fallen short of 16+ outs recorded in his last four starts. Matz was used out of the bullpen exclusively from late May until early July.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Cubs lineup has been crushing the ball at home with 48 runs scored across six games since the All-Star break. They also hover around the top-10 rankings across the board against right-handed pitching at 12th in wOBA (.330), 9th in ISO (.169) and 12th in wRC+ (12th).<\/p>\n

Despite sitting in the basement of the NL Central, the Cardinals have won five straight games and they will be a quick hook at Matz if he struggles early. Let’s ride the trend on the under for Matz outs tonight.<\/p>\n\n

Pitcher Prop Prediction 2: J.P. France Over 18.5 Outs (+120)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Houston Astros starting pitcher J.P. France has been a rock solid #4 starter with a 4-3 record, 3.31 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. France has cleared 18.5 outs recorded in four of his last seven games while landing on 18 exactly in two of the other three outings.<\/p>\n

The Oakland Athletics lineup ranks bottom five across the board against right-handed pitching at 29th in wOBA (.288), 27th in ISO (.132), 25th in wRC+ (87) and dead last in OPS (.650). They have scored only nine runs across six games against the Houston Astros during the 2023 campaign.<\/p>\n

The Astros have needed to utilize seven different bullpen arms over the course of their last two games in the altitude of Coors Field.<\/p>\n

Look for the Astros to lean on France for a longer outing against a vulnerable opponent. Regardless, France has consistently hovered around six innings of work and should make quick work of this Oakland lineup and record 19+ outs tonight.<\/p>\n\n
