Houston’s lineup had one of the lowest strikeout rates against right-handed pitching this season (20.5%). He also had just a 1.97 strikeout-to-walk ratio against lefties, as opposed to his 3.33 mark against righty bats - which could give Martin, who’s been walked six times across 29 plate appearances, a greater chance to get on and be driven in by the top of the order. 815 OPS against Javier throughout the regular season. That also makes either his total bases prop or hits prop good value plays since both are set a 0.5 with -169 odds, but the over on his Hits+Runs+RBIs line feels just as likely to come through despite the odds difference. Taveras is 5-for-16 (.313) with two extra-base hits in his career against Javier. Throw Javier in the mix, and the centerfielder is even more likely to stay hot.

He’s also gone over this number five times over his last 10 and four times in seven postseason games.

348 with three extra-base hits, three RBIs and five runs scored this postseason. If that happens, don’t be surprised if Taveras plays a part. Things could easily go sideways for him vs. Leody Taveras over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs +110Ĭristian Javier cooked the Twins in the ALDS, but he’s not exactly a model of consistency.
