Result:
LOSS

This is the fourth straight road game for Oakland. The Athletics go with Homer Bailey (4.87 ERA), but he's been awful on the road this season with a 6.38 ERA. Bailey was torched for nine runs and eight hits in two-plus innings during an 11-1 loss to the Astros on July 22. Houston is third in runs scored, first in on-base percentage and slugging, while the pitching staff is fourth with a 3.79 ERA. They've outscored opponents by +239 runs - tops in the league. The Astros have ace Justin Verlander (2.52 ERA) on the mound, who's having a Cy Young award winning season where batters are hitting .166 off him. He also has a 1.29 ERA in three starts against Oakland this season and is 14-6 with a 2.53 ERA in his career. Back the home team to win a one-sided game. Play Houston on the runline.
