A’s vs.Astros, back at it EARLY!
(MLB) Oakland vs. Houston,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 114.00 Houston (Home)
Result: Loss
Oakland A’s (Montas) vs. Houston Astros (McCullers Jr.)

The hard hitting Astros have owned the A’s to the tune of 9-3, and with some very lopsided wins, at that. They have a great home field record and eat up right handed pitching.

It doesn’t look promising for Frankie Montas. He is 7-7 with an ERA of 4.63. He hasn’t won a game in three starts, giving up 12 runs in 15+ innings pitched.

The same cannot be said about Lance McCullers Jr. (6-1, 2.97). He is 3-0 in his last three starts, giving up only 2 earned runs per game. He faced the A’s in April, but won 9-1 in that start.

At 3 and 7, the A’s can’t get any traction at this critical moment in the season, and are sinking in the standings. Will they continue on their woeful path?

My wager.

Lance McCullers Jr. is the real thing. I am not so sure about Frankie Montas. Take the Astros to win, -1.5.
