Analysis
#969: ASA PLAY ON Houston Astros -160 @ Athletics @ 10:05 ET Wednesday - The Astros are heating up and are 6-1 L7 games and also 16-6 last 22 games! The Athletics entered this series having won 3 in a row but this followed a 6-28 run so a 3-game sweep at Kansas City did not mean all is suddenly well. In fact, yesterday's 13-3 Houston win is a sign of what to expect tonight as well! The Athletics have gone just 13-24 at home this season and also are 11-32 this season when facing a team that is currently .500 or better on the season. In this case this is a first versus worst match-up in the AL West. The Astros Framber Valdez is piling up strikeouts and has averaged 11 per start over his last 3 starts and those outings averaged 7 innings! Valdez has allowed only 11 earned runs over his last 7 starts! The Athletics Luis Severino is 0-6 with a 7.10 ERA at home this season! The Astros have one of the top bullpens in the majors this season while the Athletics are ranked dead last in the majors for bullpen ERA this season. Again, this one is based on the superior team at a very fair price but you can see why we also like the projected pitching match-up here as well. Either way, this one should be all Houston! This is a great spot with a reasonable price on a solid road team and we like the Astros here on Wednesday.
