Houston SaberCats vs Chicago Hounds Prediction: Visiting Hounds expected to close the odds

SaberCats Stadium will host this round 12 MLB encounter between Houston SaberCats and Chicago Hounds. Both teams hope to get maximum points here. However, which team will win this?

Houston SaberCats kept their run of wins intact the previous weekend against Anthem RC, securing a 15-38 victory. In that game, Houston SaberCats had a 3-33 win at halftime, and a poor play saw them score just 5 in the second half while conceding 12. In the meantime, Houston SaberCats have won five straight matches, their first three being wins over Old Glory DC, San Diego Legion, and Utah Warriors. Houston SaberCats have accumulated 44 points this season, the most by any side in the league after 10 matches.

Chicago Hounds are coming off a 21-22 loss to Old Glory DC last weekend. In the meantime, the prior encounters to that defeat saw Chicago Hounds go on a four-game winning streak. Chicago Hounds defeated NOLA Gold, Anthem RC, Los Angeles, and New England Free Jacks in that run. This season, Chicago Hounds have accumulated 28 points from 10 matches, positioning them 2nd in the Eastern Conference standings. 

Chicago Hounds have been consistently good this season, and despite last weekend’s loss to Old Glory DC, they still have a chance here. On the other hand, SaberCats are the most competitive side in the league, and while they stood to the test in every game, I think they will win here. However, with the Hounds at home, I expect them to be able to close the odds.
