On Wednesday, Houston Astros star 3B Alex Bregman will return from the injury list to play versus the Boston Red Sox. Bregman is returning after being sidelined five games due to suffering an elbow injury last week.
Bregman is batting leadoff for the Astros in today’s game while being the team’s designated hitter. Bregman has had a good season with 19 home runs and 59 runs batted in, all while batting .261. In 2023, Bregman only hit 25 home runs, so he is on pace to outperform that statistic from a season ago. Bregman is second in HRs, third in RBIs and fifth in hits for the Astros this season.
Before Bregman was injured in a game vs. the Tampa Bay Rays on August 14, he hit four home runs in the same week.
The Astros will have their ace Justin Verlander back on the mound for the first time since June 9 in today’s game. The Astros are -142 betting favorites to beat the Red Sox on DraftKings Sportsbook. The over-under for this game is 8.5 runs.
