Oakland A's have really come to play in this huge home series against the team that they are chasing going into Sunday afternoon at the Ring Central Coliseum in Oakland California. This A's team as they do every season it seems turn on the juice in the second half of the season as this team is mirror opposites of what they started out as in April.
Houston was my pick to win it all at the start of the year but they have gone just 35-31 on the road this season and have lost 5 straight going into the big game with Oakland on Sunday but lucky for them they have one of their 3 aces on the mound in one Zack Greinke he is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA since joining the Astros but even more impressive is his season numbers.

Going into Sunday's game in total Greinke is 12-4 with a 2.91 ERA 143 strike outs and just 25 walks and has been one of the few pitchers contending for the Cy Young award this year in baseball. Thanks to the recent struggles of the Astros we get a decent price on this game.
Oakland who is smoking hot winners of 7 of their last 10 games and 4 straight send Brett Anderson to the mound he is 10-8 with a 3.95 ERA he has 71 strike outs and 36 walks a average pitcher at best. Oakland is 40-23 at home in their huge pitcher friendly ballpark.

Oakland is outgunned and out manned in this game the Astros are not happy and not used to losing. Zach Greinke has not had a great start with Houston and is still 2-0 so I expect him at the top of his game with Houston needing a win. What a great time to lay the run line here with the Astros as they win this game easy 5-1.
