Result: Loss
Total: 8.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Astros lead the majors in homers. The Athletics are sixth in runs scored.
The pitching matchup is Drew Pomeranz versus Lance McCullers. So, yes, I believe each team is good for at least four runs.
Oakland has scored a minimum of three runs in all but one of its last seven games. The Astros are averaging six runs per game during their past four games.
Pomeranz is 0-3 with a 6.86 ERA in four road starts this year. He's made four starts and five appearances career-wise versus the Astros and is 0-2 with a 6.05 ERA. This is the third time already the Astros will be facing Pomeranz this season.
McCullers isn't ready for the majors. He had a 5.47 ERA in 97 innings in Class A last year. That dropped his stock. He was pitching much better this year - but at Double A. He hasn't even thrown an inning yet in Triple A yet he was elevated to Houston's starting spot here because Brett Oberholtzer is out with a blister on his pitching hand.
The game is at Minute Maid Park, which is a hitter's park with or without the retractable roof in use. If the roof isn't closed, batters will be aided by 10-15 mph winds blowing out. The over has cashed 18 of the last 25 times these teams have played in Houston.
