This Astros team is clearly impaired by the injuries they are suffering and Brett Anderson has gone six innings in four of his last five. Justin Verlander will be solid but I think Anderson can stick with him in this game just long enough to give his offense a chance.

The Astros come off a rare loss behind Justin Verlander, which made them 9-3 with him. He's on a run of four straight Unders, and they're 10-2 to the Under this season. The Houston-to -Under combination has happened in eight of his starts. Brett Anderson has allowed just one run in each of his last two starts. Under is the play here.

I think the loss of George Springer, Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa is starting to impact this lineup. Over the last two games, the Astros have just four runs on 12 hits. On Friday night they got two home runs to squeeze out a 3-2 win. A’s starter Brett Anderson (6-3, 3.86 ERA) is allowing an excellent 0.74 home runs per nine innings, which is 17th best in the majors among starters and right behind Hyun-Jin Ryu. I realize Justin Verlander (8-2, 2.38) is on the mound for Houston, but I think Anderson frustrates the Astros hitters and Oakland pulls out a low-scoring win.
