WATCH: Top MLB Player Prop for Boston Red Sox vs. Houston Astros

The Boston Red Sox look to avoid getting swept by the Houston Astros on Thursday night, sending Eduardo Rodriguez to the mound. Rodriguez is 5-4 this season with a 5.59 ERA and I’m taking him to go Over 5.5 hits allowed against Houston tonight (odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook). 

In his 11 starts this season, Rodriguez has hit this over in six of them. The left-hander has also hit it five times in his last six starts. In his last three starts, he’s given up 23 hits. And it doesn’t help that the Astros have been on fire during this series. They had 17 hits on Wednesday and 11 on Tuesday. And on Sunday, they had 12 hits against the Toronto Blue Jays. On Saturday, they had nine hits. You get the picture. 

The team also leads the league in hits this season with 573.
