The A's have won six of their last seven to move three games over .500, while the Astros haven't sniffed .300 over the last three years. They played an unusually competitive game last night losing 6-5, but those games are few and far between, and seldom on consecutive nights vs. a winning team. No team has been worse vs. a winning team than Houston who is a woeful 14-61 in their last 75 vs. a winning team. Houston is also 37-98 in their last 135 games overall, which projects to an insane 118 losses over a 162-game schedule. It is hard to treat this team as an MLB franchise, as things are getting worse, not better. Go with Oakland on the runline.
