This is an 8* play OVER Houston-Oakland

We went with the Under in this same matchup yesterday, so why the switch today? Justin Verlander is pitching for the Astros, so he should take care of business, right? Maybe as he's yet to allow more than four runs in any start this year and has allowed no more than 1 eight times. But we also think it's time for this Houston lineup to explode. They've only scored four runs total the last two games. They are averaging more than five per game for the season. Sure the lineup is without some key players right now (Correa, Springer). However, Brett Anderson (starting for Oakland) has a 6.97 ERA in five previous starts vs. the Astros. But the biggest reason we are switching gears here is that the A's should have Khris Davis back in their lineup. That's a gamechanger and their offense should wake up too. The A's previous series (vs. the Angels) was all Overs. Play OVER Houston-Oakland
