The Houston Astros(16-25) host the Oakland Athletics(19-24) for the second game of their four-game series on Tuesday night.
Houston defeated the Astros 9-2 on Monday night. Third Baseman Alex Bregman had a great game as he had four RBI in the game. The Astros bullpen dominated as they tossed four shutout innings on Monday and their pitching staff as a whole musted a whopping 12 strikeouts as they cruised to victory.
Oakland’s defense let them down in the opening game of this series as they committed three errors. The Athletics offense also struggled as they had 10 hits, but were a putrid 2-of-10 with Runners in Scoring Position. All three parts of Oakland’s team last night were nowhere near their best.
Will the Houston Astros continue their winning ways or will the Oakland Athletics rebound against their divisional rival?

Game Prediction
Houston has been extremely disappointing this season as they look far away from their perennial contender status from years past. They are still the side to trust though in this divisional tilt. The Astros will have one of the better pitchers in the game going, and neither offense is particularly strong. That is why the under of 8.5 runs should come in as this should be a much lower-scoring game than last night’s contest.
Final Pick
Houston Astros ML(-175) and U 8.5(-115)
