Can Oakland cool off Houston’s hottest summer surge?

Athletics (42-61) VS Astros (59-42)
07/24/2025 | 9:10 PM ET | Minute Maid Park, Houston TX


Houston continues to trend upward as they return home, bringing with them a well-balanced lineup and solid recent form. Their pitching staff is rested and reliable, and the offense has done enough in recent games to make the run line a justifiable play. Meanwhile, the visiting team has struggled to hold leads and has not found much consistency at the plate or on the mound. Those gaps could prove costly in a matchup that favors depth and execution.
The pick here is Houston to cover the run line. With more stability across the board and postseason implications beginning to loom, they have the edge.

Houston enters this matchup on a strong run, with their offense showing renewed power and consistency. Even with a few arms unavailable, their core lineup has been delivering at the plate, particularly at home where scoring has come in bunches. The visitors have struggled to generate much offensive momentum lately, and injuries to key pieces of their pitching staff haven't helped stabilize things. That imbalance leans toward a higher-scoring affair, even if the starting pitchers hold early.
The pick is the over, backed by Houston’s home run potential and the visitors’ shaky bullpen. This game has the makeup of one that climbs past the posted total.

Houston enters this matchup with momentum and urgency, as their playoff positioning sharpens and the offense continues to thrive at home. The starting rotation has held up well despite a few absences, and the bullpen depth remains serviceable against an opponent that has struggled to maintain leads and suppress runs. The visitors arrive on a cold stretch, with their lineup missing key pieces and the bullpen stretched thin—an unfavorable formula against a team that’s produced consistent offense all month.
This pick leans toward the run line for the home side, where the value lies in banking on better depth, stronger late-inning execution, and motivation that matches the stakes.
