MLB | Mar 29, 2024 Yankees vs. Astros |
Astros -129 at LINEPROS |
in 18h |
Friday MLB Free play. My selection is on Houston over New York at 8:10 pm et on Friday. Yankees starter Carlos Rodon had a decent Spring but I'm not sold on the left-hander enjoying a renaissance campaign in 2024. Rodon was awful last season, logging a 5.79 FIP and 1.45 WHIP in 64 1/3 innings of work. He'll be given every opportunity to lock down a spot in the Yankees starting rotation this season but I'm not convinced he's long for it. Cristian Javier will counter for Houston. He struggled to the tune of a 4.58 FIP and 1.27 WHIP last season but he's early enough in his career trajectory that I do expect him to rebound in 2024. Note that Javier finished third in Rookie of the Year voting back in 2020 and was terrific in 2022, posting a 3.16 FIP and 0.95 WHIP. Look for the Astros to bounce back from yesterday's one-run defeat against the Yankees at home. Take Houston. |

UNDER 144½ -110 at MIRAGE |

This is a free play on Under. How many teams in the NCAA Tournament can win a game when they shoot just 3-of-25 from beyond the arc and just 33% from the field? Only one, the Tennessee Volunteers are the first team ever to win a game despite shooting below 15% from beyond the arc and 35% from the field. Rick Barnes past failure loom large here as the Vols get ready to face Creighton the in Sweet 16, and I expect another low scoring game that goes down to the wire. GL, Jesse Schule |
