Oakland at Houston

The Houston Astros are off to a 57-25 start, and you have to start believing this team can win it all. Houston has overcome nagging injuries to starters, as well as a depleted starting rotation and keeps on winning. They win because the starter doesn't need to go deep into games as witnessed by seven scoreless innings in Oakland by the bullpen, then on Sunday on the road in Seattle. The lineup and roster are deep and this team is a tough out every night. Oakland has been a streak team, as their last 11 games show a four-game winning streak, followed by a four-game losing streak. The Athletics are now a three-game winning streak. Over the last two years, Houston is 68-38 against sub-.500 teams and has a nifty 9% ROI in the 106 games. Take Houston.
