The Houston Astros and the Oakland Athletics are battling for the top spot of the AL West with the Astros entering the week with a 1 1/2-game division lead. I expect to see a low-scoring game of playoff character here with Brett Anderson (3-3, 3.47 ERA) and Gerrit Cole (11-5, 2.73) on the mound. Anderson has allowed just two runs over 26 2/3 innings in four starts this month while Cole has struck out 19 while allowing three runs through 11 innings in his last two starts combined.

Under is 9-2-1 in Athletics last 12 vs. a team with a winning record and 7-1 in Anderson's last 8 road starts.

8* play on UNDER.
