Published pick reasoning

Sized at 1u — The Under 8.5 has stalled in the last 2 hours. Both starting pitchers, Lambert (3.26 ERA) and Rocker (3.95 ERA), have respectable numbers. Globe Life Field is a hitter-friendly park (Run 105, HR 108), but both bullpens are fresh. The Astros and Rangers are in a sandwich spot with a rivalry game coming up, which can sometimes lead to lower-scoring affairs. The negative EV for the Under is against the Pinnacle fair line.
