numberFire has built comprehensive algorithms to pinpoint the bets with the highest probability of returning money – whether you are betting on the total, a runline, or moneyline.

For those new to numberFire, we use a five-star system to show which bets you should be targeting on any given night. Stars represent how much you should risk on a wager relative to what you would normally bet. For example, if you would normally bet $110 to win $100 on a -110 spread wager, if we give a three-star ranking, we suggest risking three times that amount: $330 to win $300.

Using our model as a guide, let's take a look at the most appealing MLB lines from FanDuel Sportsbook.

Houston Astros at Philadelphia Phillies

Over 8.0 (-102)
Yordan Alvarez 2+ Total Bases (+115)
Rhys Hoskins to Hit a Home Run (+340)

We've got Lance McCullers and Ranger Suarez starting tonight in Game 3, and I'm backing the over.

Suarez, the Philadelphia Phillies' starter, has a brutal matchup against a Houston Astros lineup that was outstanding against southpaws this year. In the split, Houston posted the third-best wOBA (.340) with the lowest strikeout rate (17.4%). Suarez will need to be at his best to have a good outing, but as a guy who had a 4.11 SIERA and 19.5% strikeout rate in 2022, Suarez doesn't profile as a pitcher who will be able to quiet Houston's deep and talented lineup.

McCullers definitely gives the Astros the edge in the starting-pitching department, and that's a big reason why the Astros are -126 moneyline favorites. McCullers returned from injury late in the year and recorded a 3.96 SIERA and 25.6% strikeout rate in 47 2/3 innings. He's been good over two playoff starts, as well, giving up three earned runs and punching out 13 over 11 frames.

We project Houston to win by a score of 4.57-4.32. That's 8.89 total runs, and our model has the over cashing 53.1% of the time.

As for props, I'm on Yordan Alvarez to total at least two bases (+115). Alvarez is one of the game's elite bats, and he's excellent against both lefties (.424 wOBA) and righties (.428 wOBA). He'll be in a good spot against Suarez, but he'll also be in a good spot no matter who he sees from the Phillies' bullpen. I don't mind his RBI prop (+150), either.

On the Phillies' side, Rhys Hoskins to go deep (+340) has my eye. McCullers showed reverse splits in 2022, giving up 1.13 homers per nine against righties with a 23.8% strikeout rate in the split. Compare that to a 28.1% strikeout rate and 0.38 dingers per nine to left-handers. Hoskins has five jacks in the playoffs and was much better at home this season (.378 wOBA) than he was on the road (.312 wOBA).
