MLB Odds: Athletics vs. Astros prediction, odds and pick

The Houston Astros will host the Oakland Athletics in the final game before the All-Star break. The games are split, but the A's want to spoil other teams' victories.

The A's are 29.0 games behind the Astros for first place in the AL West. They are in last place with a record of 31-62. Adam Oller will start for them tonight. He is 0-3 in his career with 9.00 ERA.

The Astros are 10.0 games behind the Mariners in the standings. Jake Odorizzi is set to take the hill for his 10th start of the season. He will look to shut down the A’s again.

The Athletics and the Astros are playing a game tonight. The A's won the first game of the series. I'm taking the Houston Astros to cover the spread and beat the A’s by at least two runs.

The final MLB prediction and pick is Athletics -1.5 (-128) against the Houston Astros.
