Oakland Athletics
The first game in Houston was a lot like the finale in Oakland. The Athletics started fast against the other Houston ace, Gerrit Cole. Then the Astros took command.
Marcus Semien hit a mammoth two-run homer. Matt Chapman’s was shorter but counted just the same. It was 4–0 Oakland before Houston responded with five in the bottom of the third.

The Astros went on to win 11–4. Collin McHugh pitched the seventh inning and, somehow, I hadn’t realized he’s been a stud reliever all year. He’s got a 1.65 ERA in sixty innings this year.
I’ve still got the A’s to win it all, but the bullpen has shown the slightest weaknesses in the last week or so. Lou Trivino hasn’t been as dominant in his last five or so appearances as he had been to that point. There’s just so much depth there that I’m not that concerned. Other staffs are wearing down, too.
Houston Astros
The Astros have the advantage in this game on Wednesday because Trevor Cahill doesn’t pitch great away from home. If I’m Bob Melvin, I’m doing everything I can to get Cahill on the hill at home in the playoffs; he’s not so worried about it in the regular year, though.

Dallas Keuchel isn’t great at Minute Maid either because he does pitch to quite a bit of contact. Game one already flew over but if there would have been one game I’d have pinned to go over before the series started, it would have been this one.
