Astros vs Athletics Prediction
The Athletics finally got in the win column, snapping a massive losing streak, but it doesn’t move the needle much when you consider they haven’t won two straight games since May 4-5. Sears has also been on the struggle bus lately, which includes 14 hits and 10 runs allowed in his last nine innings. Brown is coming off a stinker against the Rays, but he still has a 2.04 ERA and 0.91 WHIP on the season. In 18.2 home innings, Brown has a 0.96 ERA and .131 allowed batting average. Brown is having a CY Young caliber season up to this point. Give me the Astros and the RL for max betting value.
