AI-powered prediction

Houston Astros host Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, part of the 2026 MLB season. Both teams' season records, recent form, and matchup-specific factors are detailed in the stats and prediction sections below.

ATS PREDICTION

Arizona Diamondbacks Win

Predicted: 4-3

โšก71%

The Arizona Diamondbacks, with a solid 30-24 record, are in better form than the struggling Houston Astros (24-32) heading into this matchup. Diamondbacks' probable starter Eduardo Rodriguez has been excellent this season, posting a 2.31 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 11 starts, including two recent scoreless outings. While Houston's Spencer Arrighetti has also had a strong 2026 with a 1.32 ERA through seven starts, his walk rate is a concern, and the Astros' offense has been inconsistent, scoring three runs or fewer in 15 of their 19 May games. Arizona's Ketel Marte is currently a hot hitter, which could be the difference in a tight game against Houston's struggling bullpen, which held the second-worst ERA in MLB as of late April. [cite: 4, 1, 18 (previous search)]

SPREAD PREDICTION

Arizona Diamondbacks -1.5 (-1.5)

56%

Given Eduardo Rodriguez's ability to limit runs and the Diamondbacks' recent offensive surge, particularly from Ketel Marte, Arizona has a good chance to win by more than one run. The Astros' offensive woes and bullpen struggles make it harder for them to keep games close even with a strong pitching performance from Arrighetti.

TOTAL PREDICTION

Under 7.5

60%

With two impressive starting pitchers in Spencer Arrighetti (1.32 ERA) and Eduardo Rodriguez (2.31 ERA) likely on the mound, a low-scoring game is anticipated. Both pitchers have demonstrated the ability to work deep into games and suppress opposing offenses, suggesting that runs will be at a premium despite Houston's bullpen challenges.
