Houston Astros
The Astros showed some fight on Friday night and almost won what was one of the more exciting games of the regular season, in either league.
But Carlos Correa’s relay throw home in the ninth inning, initially ruled in time to cut down the tying run, was deemed too late by the replay officials. The game went into extra innings and the A’s won on a Matt Olson walk-off.

Yet another blown lead for this rather weak Houston bullpen. The ‘Stros are 16–22 in one-run games on the year and look like a repeat just isn’t in the cards this year.
Oakland A’s
So now the A’s are within a game of Houston, going into Saturday’s game with a chance to enter this one tied for the division lead.
Edwin Jackson was great, save for two solo home runs in the middle innings on Friday night. Trevor Cahill goes Saturday and Sean Manaea in this one.

Did you know Blake Treinen has an ERA+ over 450? He has given up six earned runs all season. He got the win last night after striking out the side in the top of the tenth inning.
And he’s not alone out there. Oakland has thirteen excellent pitchers that all look strong with a month to go before the playoffs. They are my World Series favorite.

Verlander could get this one but I have to imagine the value is with Oakland, as it has been for the last two months.
