It can be hard not to feel disappointed in a 4-4 homestand, even this season, but it can be especially hard after that four game homestand began with a four game sweep of the first-place Yankees. Alas, the A’s could not repeat their success in their second four-game series of the week against Houston, as the Astros, even while missing 4/5’s of their opening day starting rotation (including aces Keuchel and McCullers) shut down the A’s offense and took care of business like they do. The Astros are now 27-8 on the road, whereas the A’s are 9-25 on the road, the disparity in road performances for the two teams essentially the entire difference between the A’s sad record and the Astros MLB-best record.
