Back on the road! The Oakland A’s head south for an AL West showdown against the Houston Astros, with three games at Minute Maid Park.
Oakland has some work to do in this season series, as the Astros have won seven out of 10 games so far. Most of those losses came in the first couple weeks of April, but Houston also won another series in May. There are nine meetings remaining including the three this week.
The A’s begin this series with their ace on the mound. Chris Bassitt started against the Rangers his last two times out and allowed just one run total over 14 innings, and before that he posted a quality effort at Yankee Stadium.
