(MLB) Houston vs. Oakland,
Money Line: -123.00 Oakland (Home)
Result: Loss
Oakland finished first in the division during this year's regular season and now it gets a chance to face its primary division rival in the playoffs. While it should be an exciting series, A's starter Bassitt, who started Game 2 against the ChiSox, was excellent all season and downright dominant down the stretch. He was 3-0 with a 0.34 ERA in September. He's also backed by a stingy bullpen. I like Oakland as the Astros are 1-6 in the last seven meetings vs Oakland on the road.
