The Athletics are at home and that will give them a slight boost and level the playing field, but the downside is Fiers gives up a lot of runs and has a high ERA. That will definitely tip the ball back into the hands of the Astros as their offense is one of the best in the majors and will easily be able to take down the Athletics in this game. Final Score, Houston Astros win 6-3.
