The Oakland Athletics are 37-23 home at the Coliseum on the season. I think we're getting a great price on the home team in this matchup.

Houston right-hander Aaron Sanchez (5-14, 5.60 ERA) is 2-8 with a 6.41 ERA in 13 road starts on the season while Oakland righty Mike Fiers (11-3, 3.30 ERA) is 7-2 behind a 2.54 ERA in 13 home starts. All but one of those 13 Sanchez starts came before he was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays, but that's still a hideous ERA ...

Additionally, we can note that Houston is sitting pretty at the top of the division while the A's are battling for one of the two wild cards in the American League.

8* play on Oakland Athletics.
