Houston at Oakland

Oakland won 4-3 in 10 innings last night, THe A's will try to make it three in a row against the Astros and Doug Fister, who has lost three of his last four starts. Fister allowed three runs and five hits in five innings in his last outing at Seattle after losing his three previous starts while giving up 11 runs and 20 hits in 19 1/3 innings. The right-hander had a 2.45 ERA in June, but has slipped to 5.09 in July. The Athletics have won four of their last five home games and Houston still is under .500 on the road. Look for Oakland to continue the momentum from its last two games, so play the Athletics.
