Dodgers vs. Astros: Public Bettors Backing Houston

Biggio finishes 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Friday
Cavan Biggio finished 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Astros on Friday. The Dodgers probably have some regrets about trading for Biggio, who has hit just .180 with one extra-base hit for his new team. He’s in line to be non-tendered this winter, and unless he impresses in limited action in August and September, he’ll probably have to settle for a minor league contract in free agent.
Meyers collects three hits with double and walk
Jake Meyers went 3-for-3 with a double and a walk versus the Dodgers on Friday. Meyers had been hitting just .145/.200/.319 in July, so he needed this. There’s at least a slim chance that the Astros could upgrade in center field prior to the deadline, but if not, the job should mostly belong to Meyers the rest of the way.
