I'm attracted to getting a mid-size plus price with a very good Oakland team that is pitching reliable Sean Manaea.
Manaea has a 3.13 ERA, which shrinks a little to 3.05 in seven road starts. He has a lifetime 1.85 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in seven career starts at Houston. He can be counted on to provide the A's with a strong effort and he's backed by one of the better bullpens.
The Astros are countering with rookie Luis Garcia, who has strong overall numbers with a 3.14 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. Garcia, however, has allowed six earned runs during his past two starts spanning 10 innings. He's given up a combined 15 hits/walks in this time frame.
This isn't so much a fade on the Astros as it is a value play on Oakland.
