Oakland Athletics
Oakland keeps winning and I never got around to putting my bet on it as an 150/1 dog to win the World Series. The oddsmakers have taken notice and the Athletics are now only 125/1. When it comes to the futures market, I can’t stand taking a bad number and now I’m conflicted.
There’s no doubt Oakland is playing well now. The question is, are the A’s playing over their heads? They are only 14–12, after all, and are still behind Houston, LA and Seattle in the division. But I think the A’s are capable of 85 wins this year.

They especially are if Sean Manaea keeps dazzling. He shut down the Astros over seven innings after throwing the first no-hitter of the season last weekend against the Red Sox.
He got plenty of support from that offense in an 8–1 win. Trevor Cahill may not be so lucky, pitching against Gerrit Cole.
Houston Astros
Cole has been everything the Astros could have hoped for when they acquired him in the offseason, and more.
He’s gone exactly seven innings in all five of his starts and given up two runs twice, one run once and a pair of zeros. The WHIP is 0.77 and he’s struck out 49 batters compared to just eight walks.

Hopefully, he’s pacing himself. Even if he is, he won’t be this good all season. While talented, he has never struck me as the most mentally sound pitcher and will face adversity at some point.
Jose Altuve hit his first home run of the season earlier in the week. Houston’s offense looks like all systems are a go in the first month of the year.
