MLB | Houston 5 @ Oakland 2 | 05/27 | 1:40 AM UTC
Houston -1.5 -140
WIN
ANALYSIS: The Astros had won eight in a row and 11 of 12 before dropping their last two games in Milwaukee. They had a day off Thursday to lick their wounds and they are ready to get hot again. What better place than against one of the worst teams in MLB history? A's starter James Kaprielian held the Astros down for a bit on Sunday but a lineup like the Astros seeing him again so quickly spells doom. On the other side, right-hander Hunter Brown and a full Astros bullpen will slice through the pathetic A's offense (which is way worse against righties). We're playing the run line (-1.5, -140), as the most likely outcome is an easy Astros win.
