Over 8.5-122

0.82u

Both offenses are a bit underrated right now, and neither defense is stellar. Skeptical of both starting pitchers, as well. Think there's enough here to justify betting the over. I have the total here at 9.07 runs.

OAK +150

0.8u

A's offense has been just as surprising as their bullpen. They have a 117 wRC+ on their active roster, and it's 119 against righties. I'm skeptical of Ross Stripling, but the bullpen behind him has proven to be elite. I want to buy low on the Astros eventually -- just not tonight.
