Run Line +1.5 • Houston Astros

Taking Houston Astros +1.5 --171 because sometimes the best bet is not picking a winner but picking a margin that makes sense — and +1.5 often does in tight matchups. It’s the kind of number that says, “I’ll take the safe-ish route without being boring.” The +1.5 spread means the Astros can lose by one run or win outright, so it reflects an expectation of a close contest rather than a blowout either way.
