Player Prop #2: Jose Altuve / Over 0.5 Hits / 0.5 at -200 / 75% / Consistent contact hitter (high BABIP), 70%+ hit rate last 10 games, favorable matchup vs Rockies staff with poor K%.
Player Prop #3: Kyle Tucker / Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI / 1.5 at -120 / 68% / Elevated usage with injuries thinning lineup, strong OPS vs lefties if Gomber starts, Astros offense projects 5+ runs boosting combo prop.
