Houston Astros MLB Betting

Few MLB brands have the cache and power with fans and gamblers than the Houston Astros. With two World Series championships and four pennants since 2017, and nine playoff appearances in the last ten years, the Houston Astros are one of baseball’s most successful franchises. Gamblers remain significant buyers on the future market when it comes to the prospects of the Astros. Houston remains one of the most popular choices for those wagering on 2025 World Series champions. Still, Houston had a significant roster turnover in the past 12 months. That leaves questions with some gamblers about their prospects in the season ahead.

In 2024, the Houston Astros had a record of 88-73 and were 1st in the American League West Division. Offensively, Houston ranked 11th for runs scored, 3rd for batting average, 8th for OPS, 9th for home runs, and 20th for stolen bases. Defensively, Houston ranked 5th for earned run average, 11th for WHIP, 3rd for strikeouts, 4th for quality starts, 13th for fewest errors, and 8th for bullpen ERA.

Houston ranks 7th in MLB for payroll.

Major moves: Signed 1B Christian Walker to a 3-year deal, Acquired IF Isaac Paredes, SP Hayden Wesneski, and minor-league IF Cam Smith via trade from Chicago in exchange for OF Kyle Tucker, Traded RP Ryan Pressly to Chicago for minor-league P Juan Bello, Acquired OF Taylor Trammell from New York for cash.

In 2024, for the first time in a decade, the Houston Astros did not reach the ALCS. The end of that remarkable, seven-year run has clouded the club’s offseason, adding a dark, ominous shadow to a winter of questionable, unpopular transactions.

Most perplexing was the situation surrounding franchise cornerstone Alex Bregman. When the free-agent third baseman declined a six-year, $156 million offer from his longtime employer, the Astros pivoted. Over the span of a week, Houston appeared to solidify its corner infield spots, signing Christian Walker and acquiring Isaac Paredes in the Kyle Tucker trade. Finally, the Astros formally parted ways with Bregman on February 13 when he signed with the Boston Red Sox.
