Astros at Athletics 6/14/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Houston Astros will look for their seventh straight victory when they battle the Oakland Athletics on Thursday afternoon. Last night, Houston exploded for ten runs during the first two innings of a 13-5 rout against Oakland. Evan Gattis homered twice and drove in five runs for the Astros, who moved to within a half-game of first place Seattle with the win.

The Athletics will counter with twenty-five year old righty Frankie Montas (3-0 1.25 ERA) in the series finale. Through 21 plus innings this season, Montas has allowed just one long ball and owns a 0.88 WHIP.
