Available at FanDuel. My model puts the Angels' win odds closer to 45% than the implied 40%, allowing me to take the moneyline. This is largely due to continued skepticism around Justin Verlander. He hasn't had the same strikeout juice this year, and it has led to a dip in his peripherals. It's possible the Astros tap into something the Mets didn't, but you're really relying on that in order to justify this price. Reid Detmers has had some rough starts recently, but his underlying numbers are still good, even when he has faced tough opponents. I think the market is too high on Houston here, so I'm fine riding with the underdog.
