Point Spread: -1.50 | -114.00 Houston (Away)

The Astros just dominate the hapless A's. They've beaten Oakland 14 of the past 15 times, including all eight games this season. All but one of those victories was by more than one run.
So I feel confident laying 1 1/2 on the run line with the visiting Astros, who are assured of getting nine innings worth of at bats.
Christian Javier is a solid back-of-the-rotation starter. He's 7-1 on the season.
The A's, losers of nine of their last 12 games and with the worst record in baseball, are starting Paul Blackburn. He's not a solid back-of-the-rotation starter.
Blackburn has a 5.48 ERA and 1.59 WHIP. Blackburn is in terrible form with an 0-2 record, 10.03 ERA and 2.14 WHIP in his past three appearances. He does not have a good history against the Astros either with an 0-4 record, 11.25 ERA and 1.83 WHIP.
