Houston Astros - Oakland Athletics - MLB

Wager: $150. Houston Astros will play Game 1 vs. the Oakland Athletics at 10:05 EST.  The Astros will start Peacock, who is 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 5 starts this season.  In Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers, Peacock allowed one run and two hits in 4 2/3 innings, and he carried a no-hitter into the 5th inning and struck out 10, while pitching on three days' rest. The A's will counter with rookie Gossett, who was clobbered by the Miami Marlins during his debut, as he allowed 7 runs (six earned) and 6 hits in 3 1/3 innings. What is his chance to hold the best offense in baseball? Not too big. Before completing their 9-game homestand, the Astros played 10 road games, and set records for runs scored on the road, as they hit 85 Runs (!!!), i.e., an average of 8.5 runs per game, which is very impressive. The Astros are 22-10 vs. American League West opponents this season. Thus, we expect them to hit the ball hard today after the last night's 5-6 loss from the Red Sox, and win Game 1.  With that, we pick the "Alternative Game Total" of Over (+7.0) runs @ bet365. Click here for odds. Unless listed, our Bet is $100.

UPDATE, June 20, 2017, FINAL Result: Houston Astros 4-1 Oakland Athletics. Astros won 7th consecutive game at the Coliseum by getting homers from Marisnick, Springer and Fisher in a 3-run series-opening win behind the solid Br. Peacock on Monday. Surprisingly, Astros' offense did not produce more, as we expected, as they showed mercy to A's rookie Gossett, who held baseball's best team to only 6 hits. Our Bet lost, but that's the only one we lost last night!

UPDATE, June 20, 2017, MLB Games: From the MLB game-predictions given in the "Comments" section below, we won ALL of them, 5 out 5: Seattle Mariners over Detroit Tigers at home, 6-2, Toronto Blue Jays defeated Texas Rangers 7-6, as we expected. Remember, 7-6 makes the No. "76", as we discussed recently, with the following Gematria: "MLB is a lie"=76 in English Kabbalah #3, "New World Order"=76 in Latin Reduction Gematria. This result proves how fixed  those games could be: Texas and this 'No-No guy Dirkx' lost at home from the Blue Jays, but prior, stunned the Nats and Scherzer 5-1 on the road?! Next, our big win for the day was the victory of the Miami Marlins at home vs. Was. Nats, 8-7.  Lastly, I said to take straight up the Chicago Cubs and the L. A. Dodgers at home to win, and they both did: Cubs beat the Padres 3-2, Dodgers destroyed the Mets 10-6. Thus, If we assume an average of $150 per game (we usually list here), we would easily recover the loss from the Houston Astros' game above, and turn to a substantial Profit for the day! Yesterday, we were 6 of 6, this makes it 11 of 12 in the last 2 days!
