Not only the Astros are the better team, but they can also count on a player like Zack Greinke who, despite being 38 when the season will be over, is still one of the best pitcher in the American League. He is an old-school pitcher that doesn’t throw as hard as the rest of the league, but it does provide great value to their teams. In addition, Greinke stats showing some great consistency as he has gone 11-3 with a 3.51 ERA in the 24 matches played this year.
Houston Astros vs Kansas City Royals Predictions
August 18th 2021 – 8:10 ET
Money Line Prediction: Houston Astros Win
Odds -167
Game Totals Prediction: Over 9.5
Odds -105
Tip Reasoning
- Greinke stats showing some great consistency as he has gone 11-3 with a 3.51 ERA in the 24 matches
- Singer has struggled to adjust to the pressure of pitching in the big league and overall his numbers don’t look good with a 5.42 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in 20 starts
- Houston Astros currenlty have the best offense in baseball
Singer’s disappointing season likely to continue against the Astros
The same cannot be said for Brady Singer, who has had a challenging year in 2020 as a rookie. The Royals expected a lot more from him this season, but Singer has struggled to adjust to the pressure of pitching in the big league and overall, his numbers don’t look good with a 5.42 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in 20 starts. He has given his team just 4.5 innings per start on average.
We don’t think the Astros would have too many problems in winning this match. They have the best offense in baseball and can add misery to Singer’s disappointing season. The Astros to win looks the best bet in the moneyline market.
Game Totals Prediction
Looking back at the first three games of this series, we can see that the game total has been five, seven and nine runs, The over has been the outcome of most games played at this stadium in this term. Additionally, the over is 13-7-1 in From whichever angle you look at, Singer has been destroyed in his last 2 appearances. Against the Yankees and last-place Orioles he has given up 12 earned runs and an incredible 18 hits. Maybe he will improve later on in the season with more experience, but it is difficult to see anything positive for him against the Astros. The Over looks the best option here with runs that are on the cards, given the circumstances.
