Premium Pick

The Oakland A's are 26-17 on the season and while that is a strong start there is some concern. The A's got seriously hot and won 13 games in a row but the before and after paints a different picture. Outside the hot streak, the A's are just 13-17 which may better reflect what this team is. Houston is going to swing the bats but no longer have Cole and Verlander at the top of the rotation. They do have a future Hall of Famer holding that #1 spot in the rotation in Zack Greinke. Greinke has done great anchoring the staff as Houston is now 10-2 in his last 12 starts dating back to last season. He gives a huge edge to the Astros in this one. Make the play on Houston.
