HOU -1.5-118

OAK +172

Harris (4.94 SIERA/4.72 xERA) only about 1/2 a run worse than France (4.81/4.35), while the HOU bullpen estimators are less than 1/2 a run better L30 days too - HOU does have significant defensive and offensive edges, but not enough to make them this large a road favorite. OAK 112 wRC+ since the break.

READ. JP France to record a win JP is s reverse splits pitchers, shotty at home and elite on the road. He’s also a 6inn monster and should give us the depth necessary to past 5 and possibilities into the 7th. 7 ERA Hogan actually threw a gem against the stros last time out. Anomaly looking at his current performances. Even if he goes 5, Astros feasted on their BP last matchup and their pen is currently depleted after a W against the RSox. JP should at minimum go 6, so in this hypothetical where Hogan has a gem piece we still get to the BP. Love this plus money spot
