Astros vs Dodgers Prediction and Best Bets Today, July 4

My prediction

• Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (+110)

Looking at today’s MLB schedule, this feels like a perfect moment to back the Los Angeles Dodgers to not only collect yet another win at home but also make it a strong statement victory against one of the American League’s biggest contenders.

Between LA’s recent 9-1 record over its last ten games and 33-14 record at home, the Houston Astros entering tonight’s game after an overly surprising loss against the Colorado Rockies yesterday, and the apparent edge the home team holds over the Astros in every sense, this has to stand as one of MLB’s best bets for tonight.

Bet Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (+110)

• Astros vs Dodgers Over 9.5 (EV)

Let’s play a guessing game for a second.

Do you know which team loves to light up the score board and beat the over in the total of their games at home?

Yes, the Dodgers.

Do you know which team has happened to beat the over in 27 of 42 games at home after a win?

Yes, the Dodgers.

Lastly, do you know which team has gone over the total in 26 out of 45 games entering as home favorites?

Yes, the Dodgers.

MLB betting trends don’t lie, people.

Taking the over in tonight’s game at even value not only makes perfect sense here, but it offers some of the better MLB same game parlay odds for this matchup.

My Best Prop Bets

• Lance McCullers Over 2.5 Earned Runs (-137)

If I’m the Dodgers right now, I’m probably jumping for joy at the idea of facing a pitcher like Lance McCullers tonight for the first game of this pivotal series against the Astros.

Why?

According to various MLB latest news experts speaking on Houston’s starter, McCullers has been taking a proverbial beating since returning to the team’s starting rotation, raking in 21 runs in 28.2 innings of work.

Combine that with a Dodgers offense that’s averaging 6.18 runs scored per game at home this season, and it’s easy to see why McCullers’ over in runs is a perfect MLB pitcher prop to chase tonight.

• Teoscar Hernandez Over 1.5 Bases From Hits (+134)

Every time I write about the Dodgers’ offense and potential high-paying MLB prop bets, there are so many players to pick from that it becomes hard to choose only one.

For tonight, I’m chasing Teoscar Hernandez’s over in bases from hits, especially with those sweet +134 odds to back it all up.

Teoscar, LA’s star right fielder, has been hitting the ball very well lately, especially in the power-hitting department.

Facing a struggling pitcher like McCullers, who’s allowing at least one extra base hit in each of his starts, this scenario feels perfect for a player like Hernandez.

Be it that he gets a couple of singles or smacks at least a double, this feels like the easiest MLB game prediction to make.
