Houston Astros
There is no doubt that Houston is one of the best teams in the league but it is clear now they are not going to run and hide in the American League. They are looking to get back on track after dropping five of six, granted to really good teams.

Dallas Keuchel has been the surprising weak link in the rotation this season. Despite the poor record I am not hearing anything about an injury and his peripheral numbers suggest more a .500 season than a disaster so we will have to hang in there.
Oakland A’s
Oakland has been a huge surprise this season and if they do some damage in this series they could leapfrog Houston. The key has been a lineup that is making more contact this season but still hitting the long ball.

Brett Anderson was a hot prospect with the A’s when he came up in 2009. He has been kicked around a lot over the last five years but maybe he can be good enough to win behind. His first start of the season was solid but we will have to wait and see.

4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Houston ML
I will be looking to back the plucky A’s from time to time but Anderson still makes me kind of nervous.
