LAS VEGAS (Interstat) — The Houston Astros will look to snap a three-game skid and reverse their recent fortunes against the Athletics when the American League West rivals open a three-game series Tuesday night at Cashman Field.

Houston (84-72) arrives after being swept at home by the Seattle Mariners, including a 7-3 loss on Sunday. Despite the recent slide, the Astros enter as a slight favorite against the Athletics (73-83).

The series presents a chance for Houston to avenge a dominant four-game sweep by at Minute Maid Park in late July, where the Athletics outscored the Astros 32-7. Overall, the Athletics have won five of the last six meetings, though the teams have split their 10 games this season.

In Sunday’s loss, Houston relievers AJ Blubaugh and Enyel De Los Santos provided scoreless outings, and outfielder Zach Cole homered.

Oakland comes in after an 11-0 loss at Pittsburgh on Sunday, part of a series where they were shut out twice. Before that, the Athletics had won series against the Pirates and Boston Red Sox. Brett Harris had the team’s only hit in the loss.

A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a high-scoring affair, predicting a 7-5 victory for the Athletics. The over/under for the game is set at 10 runs.

Following this series, the Astros continue their road trip with three games against the Los Angeles Angels. The Athletics will remain in Las Vegas to host the Kansas City Royals.
