Athletics vs. Houston Astros Prediction
I’m on the over in this game. I get the case to be made for either side, but Mike Burrows has been extremely hittable this season and Jump has a tough matchup here against an Astros lineup that I think is improved and in his third Major League start I think could get hit here as well. Give me the over in this one.
