Houston Astros vs Athletics Prediction
The Astros need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to make the playoffs, but I’m looking at the over. Javier has allowed 17 hits and 10 runs in his last 16.1 innings, and he has a 7.88 ERA and .281 allowed batting average in 8 road innings. Springs has been hittable this season, especially at home through 77.1 innings where he has a 5.00 ERA and .254 allowed batting average. I expect some offense on Tuesday night. Give me the over.
