Houston Astros (65-64) and Oakland Athletics (49-80) will meet for the second time this week at Daikin Park. The Astros opened this three-game series with a commanding 4-0 victory to recover from their 3-18 rout against the Angels. Yordan Alvarez set the tone for the hosts after doubling twice and driving in two runs. This win now sees the AL West leaders top the American League in batting average, home runs, and RBIs. They’re the -250 favorites to win again tonight.
Oakland Athletics, meanwhile, will know that they must improve significantly to get anything tonight. The A’s got just three singles last night, and they never moved to third base. To their defense, the visitors are battling multiple injuries, with Jacob Wilson becoming the latest name to be added to the IL. Nick Kurtz is also out with a season-ending injury. Still, they must dig deep to salvage what’s remaining of their season.

Our Houston Astros vs Athletics Prediction
Everything points towards another comfortable win for the ‘Stros. They’ll come into this late-night contest with a strong head-to-head record, having defeated the Athletics in three of their last four meetings. The Astros are also 3-1 in their last four home matches against the A’s. They’ll hand Hunter Brown his seventh start this season as he seeks to improve his 3-3 record and 3.67 ERA. He’s clearly a more reliable pitcher compared to Jacob Lopez of the Athletics, who carries a 5-4 record and a 5.22 ERA. We think Lopez’s struggles will continue tonight with the Astros getting a convincing win.
Our prediction for Houston Astros vs Athletics: Astros on the -1.5 run line.
