MLB Best Bet Season Record: 63-74

USA Today

Houston finished June with a 19-7 record and have continued scorching their path in July 5-1 and they just finished a 3 game sweep of the Dodgers where they outscored the class of the National League 29-6 over the weekend. They've posted the 3rd best wRC+, best team ERA, best pitching fWAR, and 3rd best Outs Above Average.

Meanwhile, Cleveland has lost 10 in a row and they get to face a team that is 32-14 at home. Cleveland since June 1st is 24th in wRC+, 21st in ERA and pitching fWAR, and 14th in OAA. Simply put, they've earned their 10 game losing streak and I don't think it'll get any better. Tanner Bibee who would normally be their skid stopper has had a rough 2025, posting worsts in K/9, BB/9, HR/9, LOB%, HR/FB%, ERA, and FIP. I think the crawford boxes will be getting plenty of action, Stros for the best bet.
