Athletics vs. Houston Astros Prediction

I’m on the Athletics in this one. I get the case to be made for the Astros at home if you just blindly looked at this game on the surface. However, the Astros have not looked good in this series and Gordon in all honesty is one of the lower end options in this rotation if we’re being honest. The A’s have also hit left-handed pitching fairly well in the last couple of weeks, and I think the A’s pull off the sweep. Give me the Athletics.
