    Was looking at the MLB player props listed on the sports book I use and figured I’d share our players over/under and see what you guys think.
    • Correa O/U 27.5 homers
    • Springer O/U 29.5 homers
    • Alruve O/U 192.5 hits
    • Correa +1000 to win MVP
    • Alruve +500 to win MVP
    • Springer +2500 to win MVP
    • Verlander +800 to win CY
    • Keuchel +2000 to win CY
    • McCullers +10000 to win CY
    • Verlander O/U 15.5 wins
    Honestly think the over on Correa HR, Correa MVP and Verlander at 15.5 wins aren’t bad looks. What do y’all think?

    Altuve over on 192.5 hits seems an easy call based on recent history. But I suppose he could always get hurt.

    I like Springer for the over on 29.5 home runs. He hit 34 last year in only 140 games (tracks to 39 home runs over a full 162 games). He'll get pitches to hit, given how strong the lineup is.

    The Altuve one is very strange, you are basically betting on whether or not he gets hurt.

    correa would have had over 35 barely clearing fences home runs last year. He was on a tear. So I think he goes over 30.
    Altuve puts up another mvp caliber season and is runner up MVP to trout.
    Alejandro hits .300 for the first time.
    Gerrit returns to 2015 form with our advanced alien space age technology pitching machine thingy.

    Not really. Altuve has traded a little contact for a lot of power the past two years. If Altuve keeps hitting like he did last year, pitchers are going to start walking him more even with Correa behind him.

    Say wha? He batted .346 last year, a career high. He's traded nothing for nothing, just gotten studlier and studlier each year.

    His K% went up nearly 30% last year (9.8% to 12.7%, i.e., his contact went down, though still fantastic). His quality of contact (ISO, BABIP) were career highs making it a worthy trade off. For as dangerous a hitter as Altuve was last year, pitchers didn't respect him enough.

    I think Hinch is going to rest Altuve more than he has in the past, pointing to the WS run last year and hopefully another deep playoff run this year. If Altuve is rested another 5-10 games then that could easily end his 200 hit streak and bring him closer to 190.

    Altuve will get the majority of his rest by DHing.

    If we did, we could have the top 2 or 3 prospects from any team in MLB.

    I'd take the over on Correa, Altuve, and Verlander. As much as I think Springer could go off for 40 bombs, I think 29.5 is close to a push.

    I don't really understand the MVP/CY lines, but I know I'd take Correa over Altuve for MVP.

    The MVP/CY lines are basically odds. +100 is 1:1. So +1000 is 10:1, etc.

    Astros have the #4, #7, and #8 CyYoung candidates, and the #2, and #3, and #11 MVP candidates.

    4.

    I'm pretty sure they'll all be over or under 4.

    WoSCINTY.

    World Series Championships In the Next Two Years?

    Not sure how they're gonna get 4 out of that, but I have faith. So my computer after reevaluation now says 1.5
