Astros (Greinke) @ A’s (Montas) 9:40 PM ET
Game# 975-976
Play On: Astros -113 (5*)

This one is all about the starting pitching matchup. Frankie Montas is 4-1 in his home team starts but that’s misleading. During those 5 outings, Montas had a lofty 6.75 ERA and was bailed out by the ample run support of his teammates. That doesn’t figure to be the case this evening. The A’s will be facing Zack Greinke who has been dominant in 4 starts at Oakland since 2018 with a 1.08 ERA. Greinke has a sparkling 1.80 ERA during 4 road starts this season.

The Astros are coming off a 6-5 loss at Oakland last night which halted a 6-game win streak. The Astros are also 3-0 in their last 3 following a loss. Houston has scored 5 runs or more in their last 4 and 9 of its previous 12 games. They’ve also banged out 10 hits or more in 5 of their last 6 games. Additionally, the Astros are averaging 8.0 runs scored per game in 5 played at Oakland in 2021. Bet on the Astros for a 5* money line wager.
