Oakland Athletics vs Houston Astros Prediction: Astros won't lose to the Athletics twice in a row

In the previous game, Oakland beat Houston for the first time of the season. Will the Athletics be able to beat the Astros for the second consecutive game? Let's pick a few bets at once.

The Athletics can not only record the previous meeting, but even add to it the status of one of their best games of the season. It's rare to defeat the Astros in the current league, so this success for Auckland becomes very important (3:2). The team scored all three of their runs in the 4th inning. Sheen Murphy, Elvis Andrews and Stephen Piscotty each had one injury. The pitching win came from starter Zach Logue, a save from Lou Trivino.

Serving for the Athletics in game three will be Cole Irvin, 3-6 and a 3.35 ERA in 14 starts this season.

The Astros lead the American League West Division with a handicap of 12 wins, so they can take it easy. They continue to chase the New York Yankees in the conference standings and are now 5.5 wins behind its rival.

Starting on the pitching hill for the Astros in the game three of the series in Oakland will be Jake Odorizzi, 3-2 and a 4.04 ERA in eight games.

Last game Houston defended well, conceding only 3 runs but failing at bat. In the upcoming game, Dusty Baker's experienced team will surely find their chances and win. After all, there is no way to catch up with the Yankees in the American League without winning. Plus, pitcher Odorizzi, who had a poor showing in his previous game against Kansas City and dropped his strikeout rate below 4.00, needs to improve his stats.
