I like the Houston Astros runline in this game against the Oakland Athletics on Monday. The Astros have looked great in their games lately, winning all 5 games since coming back from the All Star break. They won 2 games over the Yankees, the team with the best record in baseball, and they swept the Mariners after ending their long run in the 1st game against them. They have looked good in these games with their pitching, not giving up many runs in them, but their offense has looked even better and they have been putting up a ton of runs and very early in these games. I think this is going to be another game the Astros win and continue their run since they have been so hot lately. The A's just lost their most recent game when they had a chance to sweep the Rangers but their pitching finally collapsed in that game since they gave up 11 runs. They don't have a very good offense either and I see them struggling a lot in this game to put up runs on the great pitching staff the Astros have. Adam Oller (0-3, 8.56 ERA) is up for the A;s here and he hasn't looked very good in his rookie year here. With only a few starts under his belt, he has looked terrible in every game as he has given up a ton of runs in each start. He has been getting some work in the bullpen lately, pitching a lot better in less innings played, but he has still given up a few runs in short outings as a reliever, and his most recent appearance was another start he didn't look great in. I expect the Astros lineup to put up a ton of runs on him here and I don't expect the A's to keep up since they have a really bad offense this year. Jake Odorizzi (4-2, 3.56 ERA) is up for the Astros here and he has missed a majority of the year with an injury but has started in a few games now and has looked good in those starts too. He hasn't given up a lot of runs in many of his starts and I think he can shut down the A's here who have a really bad offense. I don't see the A's keeping up with the Astros here. I like the Astros runline in this game.
T.M. Prediction: 8-1 Astros.
