Just head over to the criminal courthouse Monday afternoon and you will see numerous blue and red turkeys, chickens and a few sitting ducks as well.

The Astros, playing like turkeys, host the A’s. Oakland’s Ross Stripling, nicknamed “Chicken Strips,” has one win from eight starts after the Rangers scored five runs in 1 ²/₃ innings.

Spencer “Meatballs” Arrighetti has watched 20 runs score in 21 ¹/₃ and hasn’t won yet.

Chicken Strips or Meatballs Arrighetti? Taking the Astros for $50 (-180, FanDuel).
