The Houston Astros will try to stay on top of the AL West, but to do that they need to overcome the Oakland Athletics, who have had some success in their previous series. The 52-47 Astros have won six of their last 10 games, including two over the 53-48 Seattle Mariners, to take the top spot in their division. Houston's pitching staff has been near unhittable over their last 10 games, pitching a 2.63 ERA and limiting teams from reaching bases often with an OBP of .287. On the other hand, the Athletics have experienced a dramatic improvement in their offense, scoring 7.4 runs per game on a .278 batting average over their last 10 assignments. Oakland is blasting almost two homers a game while posting an OBP of .353 in that stretch. The Athletics are still last in the AL West with a 39-62 record, yet their recent success should keep their morale high ahead entering this next series.
Pitchers Matchup: Astros RHP Spencer Arrighetti (4-7, 5.63 ERA with 93 strikeouts) vs. Athletics LHP Hogan Harris (1-3, 3.40 ERA with 35 strikeouts).

Our Athletics vs Houston Astros Prediction
Houston has dominated their regular series with the Athletics 6-1 and won seven of their last 10 face-offs. Arrighetti is coming off a solid six-inning showing against the Rangers, in which he allowed only one run and struck out seven. The A’s suddenly explosive offense is something the Astros should be wary of, though they have the starter and bullpen (2.87 ERA over the last five games) to douse some water on their smoking-hot offense. Our betting prediction for the Houston Astros vs. Oakland Athletics: Bet on the Astros to cover -1.5 runs, +110, at BetMGM.
Prediction:
Astros will cover -1.5 runs
