Top Cappers News
The Houston Astros appear to have the upper hand on the mound heading into this matchup, with Ryan Gusto earning a well-deserved start after impressing in relief. Gusto has been sharp this season, striking out 15 batters while issuing just three walks, and he’s kept his opponents scoreless in three of his last five appearances. His solid 3.00 ERA offers a clear edge over Padres starter Kyle Hart, who comes in with a 5.40 ERA and is on shaky ground in the rotation.
Hart has struggled to contain opposing hitters and needed plenty of run support to avoid losses, including a rough outing where he allowed five earned runs to the Cubs. With Gusto showing poise and command, the Astros are in a great position to control the pace of the game. Houston’s offense, eager to break out at home, could take full advantage of Hart’s inconsistencies. Back the Astros to ride Gusto’s arm to a convincing win. Take Houston ML
