This is a 10* play on the Oakland A's.
The A's took Game 1 of this series by a score of 2-1, and I like their chances with a mismatch on the mound in the second game here in Houston.
Sonny Gray will toe the slab for Oakland, and he tossed another gem in his last start. Gray (4-1, 1.61 ERA) allowed just one run, striking out nine over seven innings, but his efforts went to waste in a 2-0 loss to the Red Sox. He's faced Houston three times over the last three seasons, winning two of those three games while posting a 2.05 ERA.
The Astros hand the ball to Roberto Hernandez, who has failed to impress in recent starts. Hernandez (1-3, 4.12 ERA) allowed four runs on six hits and three walks over 6 1/3 innings in a no decision versus Toronto his last time out. He's winless in three starts in Houston this season, posting an ERA of 5.40.
Oakland's big bats have had plenty of success against Hernandez, with Billy Butler hitting .316 with nine RBIs over 38 at bats, while Coco Crisp has hit .409 with a home run lifetime versus the right-hander.
Take OAK.
