Houston at Oakland

The Houston Astros stole a game in this series vs. the Oakland A's, but I don't think that they are going to take another. Oakland has been the best team in the AL all season, and they have had their game on and delivering the knockout blow vs. bad teams, where they don't get caught sleeping very often. Oakland has delivered a 108-38 record as a favorite of -201 or higher, and is killing teams that start a right-hander against them at home where they are 88-40 in their last 128. The Astros have not made too many stands on the road, where they are an MLB worst 79-182 in their last 261 road games. When facing a winning team, Houston finds the win column very infrequently as they are a woeful 43-134 in their last 177. Houston is 7-23 in their last 30 vs. Oakland, and 1-7 in their last eight in O.Co Coliseum. Oakland has more 2 runs or more wins than any team in baseball, and get one more today. Play Oakland on the runline.
