August 21st Baseball Parlay

My "have fun" parlay for today on BetRivers:

Houston Astros ML (-139)

Cristian Javier has struggled after a strong April & May but still has a 3.19 ERA at home and has a career 3.46 ERA. Jose Altuve has good numbers vs. James Paxton, 2 homers, .324 BA. I think the Astros end the home skid tonight.

Seattle Mariners RL -1.5 (-115)

Love the pitching matchup tonight with Luis Castillo on the bump for the M's vs. Touki Toussaint for the White Sox.

Texas Rangers RL First 5 -1.5 (+170)

Let's get a little aggressive. Jordan Montgomery had his worst start of the year vs. the D-Backs back in April giving up 7 over 4 innings. Last 3 months he has excellent splits. Slade Cecconi will be making his 4th big league appearance for the D-Backs, last out 2 runs over 4 @ Colorado. Cecconi had a 6.38 ERA over 20 starts this year in AAA. I'm counting on an early crooked number from the Rangers.
