The Houston Astros look to even the score with the Athletics in Game 2 of their series on Friday at Dalkin Park.
The Astros’ four-game win streak ended on Thursday after bowing to the visiting Athletics 2-5 in the series opener. Houston tried to stage a late fightback after Christian Walker and Cam Smith drove in two runs in the 7th inning. In the end, going 0-5 after six innings would prove to be too much of a deficit for the Astros to overcome.
The win sent the Athletics back to the winner’s circle after suffering four consecutive losses. At 43-62, the Athletics still hold the worst record in the AL West and second worst in the American League, just five games better than the 37-66 Chicago White Sox.

Our Athletics vs Houston Astros Prediction
Look out for the Astros to go for some sweet revenge on Friday with starter Ryan Gusto eyeing for his fourth win in five starts. The Astros possess a lot of firepower in both their pitching and batting units, averaging 5.2 runs and pitching a 2.80 ERA in their last five games. Gusto posted strong numbers in his last start vs. the Dodgers, holding one of the most stacked batting lineups in baseball to one run and four hits over six innings.
Gusto will duel with A’s Jeffrey Springs, who squandered five earned runs over four innings in a 2-8 loss to the Guardians. Moreover, Houston is 8-3 SU in its last 11 games when playing at home against the Athletics. They are also 22-17 ATS against American League teams this season.
Our betting prediction for the Houston Astros vs. the Athletics: Astros -1.5 Runs
