What is up? Welcome in to the Early Engine 5. I'm your host, Alan Bell. Grace Remington is on assignment this week. You know what? It's good to see you. But I tell you what, before we get to the picks today, let's take a look at how we did on Tuesday here. We had a little contest going. Look, EC. Nice job. The parlay counts is one and a half. So essentially, it's two and a half hits. Well done on that one. Oh, I look at the gallon though, AB. I got plus 175 there. Oh, that's true. You're right. So, I mean, you actually won, to be completely honest with you. Two out of three. And Spector, tough one on Lane Thomas. So let me bring it the stars of the show here here because, you know, E.C., this contest to give away two, you know, sportsline subscriptions between you and me, the Spectre, I believe you lost this one. So you have two winners. Go ahead and name them for us. Who you got? Yeah, we're going to go with Steve Clark and Joe Nolenfeld. Great, great job. you guys, I mean, Joe said I had great hair yesterday. So, I mean, in my books, that's the best comment there is. So, you know, that's all I can say there. There you go, man. All right, you guys drop your Twitter handle in the chat. I'll reach out to you tonight. Get you all set up. E.C. I'll actually get you set up because that's his domain over there. But yeah, get you all set up and ready to go. So congratulations on that one. Okay. Now, Spector, coming back to you. Lead us off, buddy. What do you got? Yeah, I knew it wasn't going to hit yesterday at Lane Thomas, the moment you said it yesterday, you really did

2:34.6

jinx me, AB. So we're going to go, Jose Altuve, over one and a half hits, runs in RBIs today at

2:40.2

minus 140. He's going up against Chris Sale. And in his career, he's had 34 at bats against

2:46.5

sale, and he's hit in 10 of those 34, a 0.294 batting average. And Altuve against left-handed pitchers, look, in the last 10 games, he's averaged 2.7 hits runs in RBI when going up against left-handed pitchers and gone over the one and a half line in eight of those 10 games. He's hitting 0.27 against left-handed pitchers on the season. It's a good matchup for him. Let's go with the over here today. You know what, Spector? I like that play. All right? So everybody, pay attention. Remember what Spector just said because I'm going to go, Jose Altuve, one plus hit and the Astros team total over three and a half. I agree with you, man. I think it's an excellent play there. I almost went with the one and a half. You did it. I think it's a great call. I'm going to go one hit, the Astros team total. Look, the Astros have, what, 47 hits over their last four games? I mean, it's just incredible what they're doing, which brings me to Alex Bregman over one and a half hits, runs in RBI's minus 110.

3:44.1

Look, I'm rolling with it, man.

3:45.3

I am big on them tonight.

3:47.5

Now, lastly, third play.
