    I bet Dan Straily never thought he'd toe the rubber as a -150 road fave

    GTFO with this line. Straily had a 6.59 ERA this spring and won't even be in the rotation when it is at full strength. Astros are putrid, but this is ridiculous. You're nuts to back Oakland at this price. Hell, he probably shouldn't even be -150 at home vs. Houston.

    The astros are the equivalent to a double A baseball team.

    Reddick, Cesepsedes , and Young are a formidable 3-4-5

    and Straily straight up deals.

    A's or no play here.

    yeah but so does almost every pitcher that puts on an A's jersey.

    Ofcourse they benifet from pitching at the colesium but I think -150 is a fair price.

    Better games on tap today though.

    Big A's NoCoin as you know and I totally agree with you.. Guy was a beast in the minors last year and below mediocre when he came up.. Line just screaming at us bc its the Astros... Actually like Peacock who was just acquired in that trade this off season from the As.. Great stuff.. Can't back him however with that sorry excuse for a lineup.. By the way after tonight Strailey going back to Sac Town AAA and Fatolo getting activated after his suspension.. That's how good he is.. Still think the A's can get a victory here cause of how bad the Stros are just would never bet that line

    Is this really your reasoning to back up "Straily straight up deals?"

    hes a good a pitcher man. Hes not an ace
    but he's pretty good.

    A's will likely sweep this series.

    Right now it has very little to do with opposing pitchers against the Astros. Stros have been shut out in 2 of 3 games against the Rangers, and we know their pitching is suspect. Until the Stros show a little more consistent scoring punch, they dead money.
