Astros @ Athletics

The read

• Houston is playing for the division, the A's are playing out the string, and the starting matchup tilts hard to the Astros.
• Wesneski: 3.50 ERA, 1.15 WHIP (0.75 career ERA vs the A's) vs Perkins at 5.90 and 1.45 — a 2.4-run ERA gap; -161 implies about 62%.
• Wesneski has only 41 Ks on the year so the leash is short, and the A's own the season series 6-5 after taking last night — lean, not a hammer.
