Houston Astros vs Oakland Athletics 7/10/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Houston Astros will meet with the Oakland Athletics in MLB action in Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, CA, on Sunday, July 10, 2022, at 4:07 PM ET.

The Astros appeared to be cruising to their sixth consecutive victory against the A’s after scoring a pair of early runs in the second inning, thanks to contributions from Yuli Gurriel and Aledmys Diaz.

However, Oakland answered back with three runs in the fourth inning, and Houston’s at-bats were entirely silent after that. The A’s bullpen pitchers were strong down the stretch, and starting pitcher Zach Logue never let himself get spooked.

When competing at Oakland Coliseum, the A’s run-scoring defense ranks sixth-worst in the league. They aren’t getting many strikeouts, and their pitching is plainly having trouble in games.

There is therefore no justification for the Astros to perform poorly in the finale. To relieve some of the burdens on the A’s, they must urgently start something.

The Houston Astros are 10-2 SU in their last 12 matches.
Houston is 6-1 SU in their last 7 matches against Oakland.
The Astros are 13-5 SU in their last 18 matches on the road.

Houston Astros vs Oakland Athletics Predictions 7/10/2022

Cole Irvin just played brilliantly against the Toronto Blue Jays. And when he ran into the Astros in early June, he caused them a ton of trouble. So when he starts pitching for the A’s on the mound in Sunday’s finale, he won’t be the least bit worried.

Along with a 3-6 record, he has a 3.35 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. For an A’s club that is now dead last in the AL West division, things were not always sunshine and unicorns. But Irvin and his team will undoubtedly make every effort to fight back.

Irvin and the defense are a problem, but the A’s offense is the bigger problem. This season, they had the fewest hits (6.82) and runs (3.16), respectively, per game.

It will be a lengthy afternoon, and Irvin and the relief arms will be under a lot of pressure to avoid getting into too much trouble.

To defeat the Astros, the A’s will need another outstanding defensive performance as they had on Saturday.

The total went UNDER in 7 of Oakland’s last 7 matches.
The Oakland Athletics are 6-12 SU in their previous 18 matches.
The total went UNDER in 5 of Oakland’s last 5 matches at home.

Houston Astros vs Oakland Athletics. The MLB pick for this game is the Houston Astros. Thanks to a heroic effort by their pitchers, the A’s were able to stave off the Astros’ batters for long enough to tie the series on Saturday.

However, given how dominating Houston was in these head-to-head contests, I wouldn’t plan on an encore performance.

The biggest issue for the A’s is that the Astros can win this game without even having a strong offensive showing. In this clash, Oakland’s offensive performance cannot be relied upon, and they will struggle to match Houston’s production.

In conclusion, reality will bring the A’s back to Earth. In this wager, I’m going with the Astros. The Houston Astros will win to a predicted score of 4-3.
