In 11 starts at Minute Maid Park, Keuchel is a perfect 9-0 with an MLB-best 1.13 ERA. The left-hander has allowed just 10 earned runs over 79.2 innings, with the ‘Stros emerging triumphant 10 times during that span. Keuchel is slated to start in the Lone Star State Saturday against Jeremy Hellickson and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Opposing batters having the unenviable task of facing Keuchel in front of his hometown fans have struck out 82 times while batting a combined .185.
Due to those gaudy numbers, it’s no surprise to see the Astros pegged as hefty -203 moneyline favorites at Pinnacle Sports. The sportsbook has held firm at its 7.5 total since opening.
