Astros vs. Athletics Odds & Betting Predictions - July 21, 2023

Bet to -103

READ. JP France to record a win JP is s reverse splits pitchers, shotty at home and elite on the road. He’s also a 6inn monster and should give us the depth necessary to past 5 and possibilities into the 7th. 7 ERA Hogan actually threw a gem against the stros last time out. Anomaly looking at his current performances. Even if he goes 5, Astros feasted on their BP last matchup and their pen is currently depleted after a W against the RSox. JP should at minimum go 6, so in this hypothetical where Hogan has a gem piece we still get to the BP. Love this plus money spot

He’s not pitching well - allowing 23 runs in 18.2 IP (and 13 walks) over his last 4 appearances. And he’s inefficient with his pitches - if he qualified, 3.94 pitches per PA would be 39th/105 and 63.4% strike % would be 73rd). HOU has been raking vs lefties (127 wRC+ L30 days ranks 3rd, .350 OBP is 5th). Traffic on the basepaths has made Harris struggle (.810 OPS allowed w runners on, 1.004 with RISP). I like the Astros to make him work.
