The Houston Astros are set to face off against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, CA.
This American League West showdown showcases two left-handed pitchers: Colton Gordon (2-1, 4.70 ERA) representing the Astros and Jacob Lopez (1-4, 4.80 ERA) for the Athletics.
The Astros come into this matchup riding a two-game winning streak, highlighted by an 11-4 triumph against Sacramento on June 18. Meanwhile, the Athletics are eager to rebound after suffering back-to-back losses to Houston.
Starting for the Astros, Colton Gordon has a 4.70 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 30.2 innings. While his performance isn’t elite, he keeps the team competitive. The Astros’ pitching staff overall boasts a 3.41 team ERA, helping maintain their lead in the AL West despite key injuries.
On the other side, the Athletics are struggling at the bottom of the AL West after losing two straight to Houston.
Their standout player, Brent Rooker, has 15 home runs, while Jacob Wilson is hitting .360. Jacob Lopez takes the mound for the Athletics with a 4.80 ERA, but his control issues have plagued him this season.
With the Astros hitting over in three of their last five games and the Athletics at 58.6% for the season, this matchup is likely to see plenty of runs.
Betting on the over seems like a smart choice.
