Oakland at Houston 9:10 ET
Astros over A's- Oakland has the best record in baseball winning 22 of 32 in with this shortened season and are starting a countdown on their 'magic' number looking to qualify for the playoffs early. Houston trails the A's by 4.5-games and are 0-6 in the last six meetings but are 46-15 as home favorites and 50-21 versus the AL West. The Astros after a slow start are 10-4 in their last 14 overall and need a win over the run-away Athletics. Houston's Lance McCullers (2-2, 5.74 ERA) is 4-2 with a 4.40 ERA in eight career starts against Oakland while Chris Bassitt (2-1, 3.51) starts for the A's and is 2-1 lifetime over the Astros. Houston needs this win over the A's in the worst way...take the ASTROS!
Thank you and Good Luck!
