Oakland A’s Series Preview #11: Astros host rematch after getting swept at Coliseum

The Oakland A’s still have the best record in the American League at 22-10, and that gives them a 4.5-game lead in the AL West. After taking a day off Thursday, they’ll now square off against the team chasing them in the division standings, the Houston Astros.

Houston Astros

  • 2020 record: 17-14

It hasn’t been a great year for the Astros. Everybody outside of Houston hates them because they cheated and then received scant punishment and showed zero remorse when caught. They lost their best pitcher via free agency.
