Oakland Athletics

The Athletics sit just 4 games under .500, but have gone 6-4 in their last 10 games.
Pitching has been the biggest issue for the Athletics this season. As a team, they allow 4.81 overall, but that number goes up significantly on the road.
Oakland sits with a road record of 12-13 and concedes 5.96 runs per game.
The Athletics will send out Rich Hill here. When it looked like his career was going downhill, Hill completely turned things around and is now a potential All Star. Hill is 8-3 on the season with a 2.25 ERA. He’s on his last 5 outings and hasn’t allowed more than 3 runs in any outing.
Houston Astros
Houston started the season off one of the worst in the American League, but are starting to slowing gain their swagger back.
They’ve weathered that bad storm and to get 7.0 games back should be considered a victory right now. Houston has rattled off 5 straight wins heading into this series as they are doing what they did last year.
Timely hitting and consistent starting pitching has been the biggest part of this team’s success.

They’ll send out Colin McHugh here. He’s vastly improved, winning 4 of his last 5 decisions. He was such a big part of this team last year, his improvement is certainly a big part of this team’s turnaround.
He went the distance last time he took the hill against the Diamondbacks, allowing 3 runs.
