Houston at Oakland

Carlos Correa was hit by a pitch on Opening Day, and the Oakland crowd went wild, but it might have lit a fire under the Astros, who easily dispensed of the Athletics the first three games of the series. Houston has outscored Oakland 26-7, and it has Jose Urquidy on the mound today after he finished with a 2.73 ERA in 2020. Oakland hitters are a combined 2-for-19 against him. Sean Manaea was 4-3 with a 4.50 ERA last season, but opponents batted .270 against him. The Astros have won six of the past seven meetings, and they are 51-22 their past 73 games versus left-handed starters. Take the Astros.
