MLB Prop Bets: Which Houston Astros Player Will Be HBP First in 2020?

2020 has been a strange year, to say the least. However, with the MLB season schedule poised to get going in July, hopefully, the world can get back to some sort of normalcy in sports.

Astros still be pubic enemy No. 1

Before COVID-19 hit the US, spring training was in full gear – and the Houston Astros pitching scandal was front-page news.

While it may take a bit of time, one thing you can bet on is several teams, namely the New York Yankees, haven’t forgotten about where things left off.

The pitch stealing scandal led to the firing of Astros GM Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch by owner Jim Crane for their involvement.

Now that the Commish has laid down the law, the players will most likely follow suit.

Las Vegas odds makers are even taking prop wagers on how many batters will be hit in the 60-game shortened season and which Astros player will be hit first in 2020!

Bregman favored, Altuve, Correa follow

It is not something a player wants to be a favorite in, but Alex Bregman has earned that “honor.”

According to Barstool Sports, Bregman, along with Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa are the top favorites to get plunked first in 2020.

Our money would be on Josh Reddick. Why? Simple, at +3000 the real question is why not?
