The Oakland A's have had a brutal season at 41-71. They had a good stretch in late July going 7-1. Included in that 7-1 record was a shocking 3-game sweep at home vs Houston. That good stretch ended abruptly and Oakland is 2-9 in their 11 games since and is currently on a 6-game losing streak. Houston has a bone to pick here, and they started this series with a win, and I don't think the Astros will be challenged here. Jared Koenig has started once vs Houston which resulted in a loss and 6.43 ERA. I'm going with Houston in this one.
