The Astros bring a dangerous lineup featuring sluggers like Yordan Alvarez into this skirmish as +125 moneyline underdogs in the MLB odds.

Astros vs Phillies Player Prop Picks

Hayden Wesneski Over 3.5 Pitcher Strikeouts (-132 at Caesars)

Astros starter Hayden Wesneski boasts encouraging career splits against the core of the Phillies’ dangerous lineup. He has racked up four strikeouts in seven career at-bats against Alec Bohm and two punchouts in six at-bats versus Trea Turner. Wesneski has eclipsed 3.5 strikeouts in all seven starts on the campaign. Furthermore, he has cleared this exact line in three straight appearances against the Phillies, averaging 5.0 strikeouts per game.

Wesneski’s features a solid 7.49 K/9 rate and a strong 3.18 ERA across 39.2 innings pitched. You can start betting at Caesars now to secure the market’s best price of -132.

Daulton Varsho Over 0.5 RBIs (+170 at BetMGM)

Astros outfielder Daulton Varsho carries a .224 average and .364 slugging percentage against right-handed pitching this year. Despite those modest baseline markers, a highly specific trend highlights his run-producing upside tonight: Varsho has exceeded 0.5 RBIs in four of his last six road games.

Over his last twelve games, he has recorded eight RBIs while notably improving his plate discipline to a 10.0% walk rate. To grab the best odds on the board at +170, claim your BetMGM promo code now.

Christian Walker Over 0.5 Hits (-175 at theScore Bet)

Astros first baseman Christian Walker has hit .227 with a .419 slugging percentage against righties and .224 against lefties this season. A relevant betting trend shows Walker has exceeded 0.5 hits in three of his last four games overall, and has 24 home runs and 77 RBI on the campaign.

His very recent four-game uptick provides the strongest reason to back the over. The numbers heavily suggest a real-time mechanical adjustment at the plate. To lock in the premier -175 price at theScore Bet, simply claim theScore Bet promo code.
