The Oakland Athletics have lost 8 straight and at 10-42 on the season are on pace to have the worst season ever in baseball history. Tonight their chances of getting a win do not look good when they open a 3-game series at home with the Houston Astros. Houston has lost their last two but prior to that they were playing like the champions they are. Tonight the A’s expected starter, James Kaprielian, is not the answer. He is 0-4 with an ERA of 8.68 and a 1.86 WHIP. The ‘Stros are expected to send Hunter Brown to the rubber. Brown is 4-1 with a 3.20 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. Houston has won the last 4 meetings with Oakland and unless they have a total meltdown should come out on top.
TONIGHT’S PICK: HOUSTON ASTROS
