MLB Betting Predictions for Complete Astros @ Athletics Series | MyBookie NL Central’s Series Preview

Houston Astros vs. Oakland Athletics Series: Monday, September 4th to Wednesday, September 6th, 2023

 

Monday, September 11th, 2023
Mason Miller (0-2, 3.09) vs. Framber Valdez (11-9, 3.30)

Miller is just a 25-year-old who has thrown just 23.1 innings this season. He has done well with the strikeouts and limiting the damage but has yet to grab a win. He last went against Toronto on September 6th and went two no-hit innings.

For the Astros – Valdez is seeking his 12th win of the season. He was the Astros ace for much of the season and continues to have nasty stuff. Valdez has struck out 168 batters in just shy of 175 innings.

 

Tuesday, September 12th, 2023
JP Sears (4-11, 4.51) vs. Justin Verlander (11-7, 3.24)

The 27-year-old Sears has had a tough season. The lefthander is 4-11 on the season.

The last two starts for Sears, though, have been good. In those two games, he has combined for 11 innings, allowing just eight hits and a single run. He will look to limit the damage against a dangerous Houston offense.

For the Astros, Verlander is coming off a win at the Rangers. That was a big win for him and the team. In that game, he went seven innings and allowed four hits and two runs, including a home run.

 

Wednesday, September 13th, 2023
Paul Blackburn (4-4, 3.88) vs. Hunter Brown (10-11, 4.78)

The final game of the season features a pair of guys who are looking to finish the season strong. Blackburn, who is 29, needs five more strikeouts to reach 100 on the season. His last start was just three innings, as he allowed six hits and two runs.

Brown is making his 27th start of the season. In 141.1 innings, Brown has struck out 162 batters. His last start was a struggle, as they got blown out 11-2 by the Padres.

The Houston Astros would love to keep the heat on. Seattle is starting to struggle a little, and the Astros would like to take advantage of these final three weeks and win the division.

 

Betting Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics Series to Win

Oakland ranks dead last in runs scored and batting average. Things have not gone well for Oakland the entire season. The team is hitting .225 on the season.

Brent Rooker is about the only positive for the Oakland offense, leading the team with 23 home runs and 57 batted in. The Athletics pitching has also been poor, with just 27 starts on the season.
