Cash Out Sports Picks is ignoring the raw pitching matchup—rookie Brandon Walter vs Tanner Bibee—because Houston has won 10 of its last 13 and keeps cashing tickets. Bibee’s 2.43 home ERA is solid, but he hasn’t looked like a true ace, and Cleveland’s offense has oscillated all season. The Astros are riding momentum and the tout prefers grabbing plus money with the hotter, more balanced club, trusting Houston’s lineup to find cracks late even if Walter only gives a short outing.

Kenny G recommended grabbing Houston at +130, calling the price flat-out wrong given the current form of both clubs. He pointed to Brandon Walter’s stellar 2025 debut — 5 scoreless innings, 3 hits, 5 K, 1 BB against Tampa — and likes the matchup for the 28-year-old lefty versus a Guardians lineup that has managed just 3-2-0-4-2 runs in its last five and sits 23rd in runs and 24th in OBP. While Tanner Bibee carries a respectable 3.89 ERA, his last two outings produced seven earned runs against the Yankees and Dodgers, hinting at vulnerability. Kenny trusts Houston’s bullpen edge (3.38 ERA vs Cleveland’s 3.80) and believes the Astros offense, which has produced 5, 4 and 8 runs its past three and ranks 10th in batting average and 12th in OBP, is trending up. With Cleveland on a three-game skid and Houston winning five of six, he sees the Astros as the superior lineup and late-inning unit, making the plus money too good to pass.

Cash Out Sports Picks laid the juice with Houston because Hunter Brown is pitching ‘like an All-Star’: 1.83 ERA (top-5), sub-1.00 WHIP, and an even stingier 2.51 ERA with a .206 BAA in 43 road innings. Gavin Williams owns a solid 3.79 ERA (3.38 at home) but suffers from Cleveland’s erratic offense that averages just 3.92 runs per game (24th). With Brown dealing and the Guardians’ bats in hibernation, the tout refuses to ‘bet against a pitcher throwing that well,’ locking in Astros moneyline.
