Matt's Analysis:
Keep fading the A's. They are pitiful. They are now 10-43 and only 10 of those 43 losses came by one run, so the -1.5 (-145) run line is the play. Cristian Javier takes the mound for the Astros and he's capable of shutting down any team in baseball, including this pathetic A's offense. They haven't seen him this year but last year he had a 2.40 ERA in three starts vs. the A's. The Astros offense won't have much trouble, either. The most likely outcome here is a blowout by the Astros.
