Athletics vs Astros Prediction
The Astros have all but played themselves out of the AL West race, and they don’t look great right now. However, Brown has been a top-10 pitcher this season and has allowed 16 hits and 5 runs in his last 24.2 innings. Severino has been hittable all season, especially at home, where he has a 6.51 ERA and .297 allowed batting average in 76 innings. Severino does not like Sacramento, to say the least.
Also, current Astros are hitting .259 with a .311 on base percentage in 170 at bats against Severino. There are a lot of healthy numbers in that Astros lineup against a guy who spent the bulk of his career with the Yankees, facing these hitters. I like the Astros to stop the bleeding and getting a victory.
