#925/926 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 9 Runs – Houston Astros @ Oakland Athletics, Sunday at 4:05 PM ET – Yesterday's game was a low-scoring 2-1 Oakland win but this followed an O/U run of 8-0 in the meetings between these teams at Oakland this season. We look for that over trend to start up immediately again here based on this pitching match-up. The O/U is 13-7 in Jake Odorizzi's starts this season. He has a 4.70 ERA away from home and the last time he made a start in this ballpark he allowed 5 earned runs in 3 innings. The Astros right-hander's counterpart for this one is Paul Blackburn. The A's right-hander had a start he would rather forget (8 earned runs in 1 and 1 / 3 innings) in his only career start against the Astros. Also, Blackburn enters this outing struggling over his last 3 starts. Two of those 3 starts were at home and Blackburn allowed 8 runs (7 earned) in 6 and 2 / 3 innings in those two starts at Oakland Coliseum. The Astros will enjoy success at the plate after being shutdown yesterday. Houston had won 8 of 12 games and scored an average of 7 runs per game before being held to 1 run yesterday. Oakland, before the tight 2-1 win yesterday, had scored an average of 5.6 runs per game in last 11 games. This total is in the 9 range and our computer math model shows this one getting into double digits in runs scored with each club enjoying success at the plate and having a solid shot of getting to 5 runs apiece which, of course, would mean at least 11 runs (6-5 final at a minimum) in this one.
