Keeping units low here until I have a larger sample on whether my MLB moneyline is performing well. Available at FanDuel. The Astros have sucked to open the year, which makes sense given how many key pieces they're missing from their lineup. But they still have guys who can bang lefties. They have seven players on the active roster who have a wRC+ of 100 or higher against lefties since the start of last year (min. 100 PAs). That's not a great stat to utilize in a small sample, but it shows they're not fully deprived of depth. I've got the Astros at 74.6% to win, up from 71.8% implied.

Under 7.5-112
