T.M. Selection: Astros (10* MONEY-MAKER).

Houston rolled over the A's in four straight on the road to open the season. Christian Javier got roughed up in his opener vs. the A's, but Cole Irvin was destroyed by Houston. I expect a similar outcome here as well. The A's are coming off their first win of the year, a 4-3 OT win at home over the Dodgers and they absolutely looked primed for an immediate letdown on the road here after that emotional "monkey off the back." All things considered, I do indeed believe that this line could/should in fact be much larger; lay the price!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Houston.
