MLB Lines – A’s vs Astros
Oakland brings its run-scoring juggernaut to east Texas to face the Houston Astros, who despite having the league’s best diminutive hitter are still sucking the hind teat of the American League West division.
Oakland brings its run-scoring juggernaut to east Texas to face the Houston Astros, who despite having the league’s best diminutive hitter are still sucking the hind teat of the American League West division.
On the season the A’s have an Over/Under record of 10-11 and a run-line W/L record of 12-9 and the Astros have an Over/Under record of 9-12 and a run-line W/L record of 10-12.
The Houston Texans will attempt to welcome back head coach Gary Kubiak with a win on Sunday, when they host the struggling Oakland Raiders.
Houston quarterback Matt Schuab will be going into Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders (2-2) without star wide receiver Andre Johnson. This development is a real test for the Texans (3-1) who have been having a great season that’s rested largely on Johnson’s shoulders.
If not for the outstanding play of Matt Schaub (300.6 passing yards per game), the Texans would be getting demolished. They’ve allowed 28.7 points and 205.0 rushing yards against per game. Good thing for them they get to play at home against Oakland, the second worst offense in the league. JaMarcus Russell a huge bust this season, leading an offense that generates just 223.0 yards per game and has managed an average of 12.0 points per game.
