The long MLB calendar that will take place next Tuesday, May 14th is going to bring such a wonderful Game 2 of the series between Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics, teams from the American League that need to show all their capabilities to get out of the bottom of the leaderboard, being important to highlight that the Astros showed an amazing performance during the Game 1.
Looking deeper into their most recent performances, Houston Astros have a streak of 2 consecutive victories in which they scored 9 runs and receive less than 3 runs per game, tendence that should carry on if they want to be more competitive, because as of today they’re the worst defensive of the AL West division with 208 received runs.
Nonetheless, it’s a fact that Oakland Athletics isn’t going to be happy after losing the first game of the series 9-2, but the concerning thing about their level is that they only won 1 of their last 5 disputed matches. Also, they’re the second worst offensive from the AL West division with 169 scored runs after 43 matches and it couldn’t be forgotten that this team is also crossing through uncertain times as they are going to left Oakland in 2025.
