00:00 the Astros.
00:01 (upbeat music)
00:03 - Five consecutive victories for the Stros,
00:05 a midweek series sweep over the Oakland Athletics.
00:08 Make that six of their last seven for the Astros.
00:12 And today, Houston hosts the team
00:14 who sits atop the National League Central.
00:17 That's the Milwaukee Brewers.
00:18 It's a dead pick 'em, minus 108 on both sides.
00:22 The over-under currently at eight and a half.
00:24 What do you like in tonight's opener
00:26 of this interleague matchup in H-Town?
00:29 - The record for Alta has been pretty good here
00:31 for the Milwaukee Brewers on the mound today.
00:32 If we take a look at the last 30 days,
00:34 115 batters he's faced,
00:36 a 103 ISO and a weighted on base percentage of 294.
00:39 If we use the current season,
00:40 which means more than just the past 30 days,
00:42 again, very good numbers.
00:44 114 ISO power number,
00:45 weighted on base percentage, 269.
00:47 We're waiting for that Houston Astros lineup
00:50 to come out of its shell.
00:51 Maybe last night was a pretty good jump point there.
00:53 Eight runs scored as they continue to win baseball games.
00:56 Got some pretty good pitching yesterday from Valdez.
00:58 We'll see if that can continue today.
01:00 But let's take a look at the lineup
01:01 and who's gonna be pitching for the Houston Astros.
01:03 Hunter Brown's on the mound.
01:05 First part of the season here, not very good.
01:07 If we look at the totality, Ben, of the season,
01:09 a 201 ISO power number
01:11 and a weighted on base percentage of 418.
01:13 That is terrible,
01:15 but it has been a little bit better over the past month.
01:17 82 batters faced here, 178 ISO power number,
01:20 which is a little bit lower than his full season,
01:21 and a 345 weighted on base percentage.
01:24 Once again, much lower than his full season total.
01:26 He is making gains here against right-handed batters
01:30 to the tune of a zero ISO power number
01:32 and a weighted on base percentage of 276.
01:34 So the left-handed batters is where you wanna go to focus
01:36 because Hunter Brown is a right-handed pitcher,
01:38 still struggling, Ben, at a 283 ISO
01:40 and a 389 weighted on base percentage.
01:42 The lefties in the lineup, of course,
01:44 Jake Bowers, a 204 ISO power number,
01:46 Kristen Yellich, only to 150 ISO.
01:49 But look at that weighted on base percentage at a 425.
01:52 RBI chances probably coming from the left-handed bats
01:54 for the Brewers, but overall,
01:56 maybe looking towards an under here,
01:57 which is no surprise for the Houston Astros.
