Both the Astros and Dodgers are rolling, with Houston winning 8 of its last 10 and L.A. 9 of its last 10. But the key has been pitching, not hitting. Most of their recent games have stayed under the total, and I expect another low-scoring battle here.

Astros' righty Lance McCullers Jr. has struggled overall, but he’s the kind of competitor who can rise to the occasion in a marquee matchup. Dodgers rookie Ben Casparius has looked sharp through two starts and has quietly logged 56 innings between the bullpen and rotation in 2025. Don’t be surprised if this one stays quiet on the scoreboard. Take the under.

5% PLAY ON THE UNDER.
