Houston Astros minus-140 at Oakland Athletics: $1,260 to win $900:
Astros starter Lance McCullers has been a bit homer-prone recently, allowing five long balls in his last three games, but before that he had put together a string of six consecutive starts (spanning 38.0 innings) without allowing a home run.

If McCullers keeps Oakland inside the park, the Astros should have an easy go of it today.
