Houston Astros vs Oakland Athletics Prediction and Betting Tips (18.09.2022)

Command Analysis

Houston Astros

USA

Houston Astros are enjoying a good run of form. They had a small dip in form recently, when they only eked out narrow-margin wins, but in the last two home games against Oakland Athletics the Astros recorded confident victories (5:2, 5:0). Currently, they are the leaders of the American League with a 0.655 win percentage.

Oakland Athletics

USA

Oakland Athletics, on the other hand, have been delivering poor results. They managed only one win in a four-game series against Chicago White Sox (10:3), and split two games with Texas Rangers. The A's failed to put up a fight in games one and two of the current series, and it will be extremely difficult to create problems for their hosts today.
