- 1st Inning Total Runs: 1 Run (+370) – The Astros may have struggled in the opening frame last season with the 10th-fewest first-inning runs in the MLB, but the Rays could help carry this combined scoring effort. Tampa finished last season with the ninth-most runs in the first inning, and the Rays are returning a very similar offense this year. Plus, the Astros are starting the season healthy with their full squad, something they rarely had a year ago.
