The Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics face off on Tuesday in an MLB showdown at Oakland Coliseum. On Monday it was the A’s that were able to pull off the upset. 

The Astros come into this game with a 64-33 overall and they had won five games in a row before losing on Monday. The Astros this season have leaned on the pitching and they are giving up only 3.33 runs per game which is 3rd best in the league. When this team has had some issues it’s usually been the offense that has been quite inconsistent. Yordan Alvarez has been the top player for the Astros hitting 28 home runs and driving in 65 RBIs. 

On the side of this matchup is the A’s who sit with a 36-63 record overall and they have won four of their last five games. This is an A’s team that is young, and their offense has really let them down. The Athletics are only averaging 3.36 runs per game which is 29th in the league. Seth Brown has hit 12 home runs and driven in 41 RBIs. 

On the mound for the Astros will be Luis Garcia who sits with an 8-5 record and an ERA of 3.65. In his last start against the New York Yankees, he went five innings giving up three hits and two runs. 

On the mound for the A’s is Frankie Montas who sits with a 3-9 record overall but a low ERA of 3.16. In Montas last start he went three innings, giving up two hits and zero runs. 

The A’s are 6-1 in their last seven games during game 2 of a series. The A’s are 0-4 in Montas last four Tuesday starts. The over is 4-0 in the Astros last four starts on Tuesday. The under is 7-1 in Montas last eight during Game 2 of a series. 

Frankie Montas hasn’t gotten a ton of run support this season, but don’t let the record fool you, he has found a ton of success in terms of individual success. In his last start he gave up zero runs, and the Astros bats are going to be ice cold against him here. Back the A’s on the money line. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
