Oakland at Houston

The Oakland A's may not have the star power, but they have a winning recipe as they own the best record in baseball at 65-40 on the season. They are certainly in line to win the AL West for a third consecutive year. Despite the loss in the opener, their strength has been beating bad teams. The A's own a 100-48 record in their last 148 against a losing team, and have gotten the pitching they need after coughing up 5+ runs in their previous game. They have come back hard and strong, delivering a 17-4 record in their last 21. Houston rarely finds success as a big dog where they are 44-130 in their last 174 as a dog from +151 to +200. Oakland has dominated this team to a 27-9 record in their last 36 meetings, and have gotten the win in 12 of the last 16 in Houston. Oakland won't take kindly to the loss last night, and will come roaring back tonight. Take Oakland.
