Houston Astros at Oakland Athletics

Leg 1: Astros Moneyline

Leg 2: Jose Altuve, Over 2.5 Hits/Runs/RBI

Leg 3: Lawrence Butler, Over 0.5 Steals

The Athletics walked off the Astros with a home run to open their series in Sacramento on Monday. AL West-leading Houston aims to even the series. 

Leg 1: We’ll back the AStros against JP Sears. He’s 1-3 with a 7.71 ERA his last seven starts, and the Astros own an .814 OSP vs. LHPs this month. He faced Houston in May and got lit up for nine earned in 3.1 innings. Houston is going the bullpen route, which is OK in this instance; the Astros relievers have a combined 1.61 ERA in June. 

Leg 2: Astros veteran leadoff hitter Jose Altuve is hot right now, and he’s had a history over success against Sears. Over the last week, Altuve is batting .400 with a pair of home runs and seven RBI. Against Sears, he’s a lifetime 9-for-22 (.409) with two HRs as well. Sears was shelled by the Astros earlier this season. Altuve can do his part again.

Leg 3: Lawrence Butler has just two steals this month, but he’s by far the team leader for the A’s. He has four hits and a walk over the last four games, but he just needs to get on base. Houston ranks 29th in steals allowed. The high odds (+600 as of Tuesday morning) make this one enticing.
