Friday MLB with Joe Wiz: Houston looks to knock off LA Angels, and stay ahead of red-hot Oakland in AL West

Tonight on the Feinline, we have Mattress Mack on the show, talking about the bet he made on the Houston Astros to win the 2021 World Series.

The Astros might have to do that from the Wild Card, if the Oakland Athletics continue their white-hot form. The A's have won seven straight, and come into Friday night just 1.5 games back of Houston in the AL West standings.

The Astros should keep it at least at that number after tonight, with Zack Greinke vs Patrick Sandoval the matchup, as they head to Los Angeles for a series with the Angels.

As always, I use PlaySugarHouse.com / BetRivers.com for all of my lines and action.

And remember to tune in to The Feinline (60 minutes of sports betting advice) tonight from 12-1 a.m. and tomorrow morning from 8-9 a.m. on 98.7 FM ESPN NY and the app.
