ASA top play on 10* OVER 8 runs Houston Astros vs. Oakland A’s – 9:40 PM ET - We are betting the value here and Over 8 runs. These same two teams and pitchers just met in Houston in mid-July and the Over-Under on the game was 8.5. The game featured 16 total hits with 18 men left on base and finished with 7 runs. Oakland owns one of the worst offenses in baseball this season ranking 27th or worse in home runs, OPS, Average and runs/9 innings but they’ve been much better of late. In their last five games overall, the A’s are hitting .251 as a team and scoring 4.93 runs per game. Oakland’s last five games have averaged 9.20 total runs per game. Houston is in the top half of the league in most key offensive categories including runs/9 innings (4.53), OPS, rank 3rd in home runs and 3rd in fewest strikeouts per game. The A’s will send Adam Oller to the hill who is a starter/reliever and in the games he’s started he is 0-3 with an ERA over 8.5. In his last four starts he’s given up 22 hits, 18 earned runs in 17.2 innings of work. Jake Ordorizzi is 4-2 on the year with a 3.56 ERA for the Astros which are solid numbers but the A’s are seeing him for the third time this season so the hitters should have an edge. Bet the value and OVER here.
