Astros vs Athletics predictions
As the Houston Astros take on the Oakland Athletics, I'm expecting big things from Yordan Alvarez, who's been crushing the ball all season. I think he'll come through with a multi-hit game, possibly even going yard to give the Astros a boost. Jose Altuve always seems to come through in big situations, and I wouldn't be surprised if he drives in a couple of runs to help propel the Astros to victory. And with Ronel Blanco on the mound, I think the Astros will get a quality start from their young pitcher, who's been dealing all season.
On the other side, the Oakland Athletics will be relying on Brent Rooker to provide some pop in the middle of their lineup. I think he'll come through with a big hit, maybe even a homer, to help keep the Athletics in the game. Seth Brown and Zack Gelof will also be key contributors, and I wouldn't be surprised if one of them comes through with a clutch RBI. Aaron Brooks will need to have a strong outing on the mound if the Athletics want to take down the Astros, and I think he's capable of keeping his team in the game.
Overall, I think the Astros have too much firepower and will come out on top in this one. Blanco should be able to shut down the Athletics' offense, and the Astros' lineup will find a way to scratch out enough runs to take the win. I'm predicting a 5-3 Astros victory, with Alvarez and Altuve leading the charge. The Athletics will give it a good effort, but in the end, the Astros' talent and depth will prove too much to overcome.
