The Las Vegas Athletics have opened the season at 2-5, which is a multiple-team tie for the worst record in the AL in the early going. The Athletics are hitting just .206 as a team to open the season. The best part of this team has been the bullpen, which comes into this game with a combined 3.21 ERA. That is considerably better than the Houston Astros, who have a team bullpen ERA of 5.12 through 8 games. The Astros are just +6 in run differential, while the Athletics come in at just -3. These teams are a lot closer in the early going than the records indicate. While they are separated in the standings rather significantly, they are a lot closer in run differential. I like the Las Vegas Athletics.
