C.Javier u17.5 Outs-105

Javier is under this line in 6/L8, and is pitching to a 5.47 ERA on the road this season. I know trusting OAK is scary, but Javier’s pitches per PA have been sky high (4.12 is 11th highest). OAK is stacking lefties at the top of the order - Javier allowing an .851 OPS against LHH - so the Astros could turn to the pen a bit quicker the 3rd time through. OAK has kept 8/L10 righties under this line in OAK.
