Astros vs. A’s Picks and Predictions

Prediction

A’s 6, Astros 3

Money line

THE AS (+128) are a good bet if you’re a little more adventurous.

The Astros (-152) have been playing better baseball of late after a dreadful start to the season, especially by their standards. However, Houston can’t be trusted with the erratic Arrighetti on the mound against an Oakland offense that has been surprisingly red hot of late.

Racing Line/Against the Spread

THE A’S +1.5 (-144) aren’t out of the question if you’re a little more conservative and want some insurance. It’s hard to put your full faith in Oakland, but Harris has been serviceable and he managed the Astros in his previous relief appearance earlier this season.

More less

MORE THAN 8 (-105) is lean, but opt ​​for a half-unit game at most.

The reason to aim high is Oakland’s offense of late, as they’re averaging 9.2 rebounds per game over the last six outings. And it’s a good idea to play the Over against Arrighetti, who has been inconsistent, especially on the road.
