MLB Odds: Keuchel Faces Bumgarner on Tuesday

On Tuesday, the San Francisco Giants will host the Houston Astros in a battle that should feature the most highly anticipated pitching showdown of the evening. Madison Bumgarner will be on the mound for San Francisco; Dallas Keuchel will pitch for Houston.

Bumgarner has been electric for the Giants since making his debut on June 5. The veteran lefty has produced a 2.97 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP with a 4-4 record through 11 starts. Bumgarner, who has registered wins in three of his last five starts, is coming off one of his best outings of the season after holding the Arizona Diamondbacks to one earned run over 5.0 innings of work. Bumgarner has been at his best at home this season where he has posted a 3-2 record with a 2.01 ERA through six starts.

The Astros will be relying on Keuchel to get the job done and he’s pitched well of late. With a 9-9 record this season, he has a 3.61 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP through 23 starts. Unlike Bumgarner, Keuchel has posted better numbers on the road than at home. The left-handed hurler is 6-4 with a 3.12 ERA in 12 road starts compared to a 3-5 record with a 4.16 ERA in 11 home starts. Keuchel has been at his absolute best over the last month, with a 4-1 record and a 1.93 ERA in his last five appearances.




MLB Odds: Keuchel Looks to Stay Hot Versus Bumgarner, Giants on Tuesday


Dallas Keuchel will attempt to extend his recent hot streak when the Houston Astros visit AT&T Park Tuesday night. He’s 4-1 with a 1.93 ERA over his last five appearances dating back to July 3.

He’s taking on the San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, who’s been outstanding in his own right. Bumgarner is 4-4 with a 2.97 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP this season. He’s posted his best numbers in his six home starts so far this year, going 3-2 with a 2.01 ERA. It will be interesting to see if Bumgarner can outduel Keuchel in Tuesday’s head-to-head matchup.
