In a weird, weird baseball season, in which the Los Angeles Angels have a chance at the playoffs with their barely-.500 record, the Houston Astros have stood out early and often in the West; boasting the second-best records in the Major Leagues—second only to the record-setting Los Angeles Dodgers.
It’s these Astros that the A’s will see today in Houston, as Sean Manaea will face off against Dallas Keuchel, who is fresh off a win in the battle-for-Texas series last week.
