Game Thread no. 121, 8/17 2018, Houston Astros at Oakland A's. 9:05 CDT.

It’s the biggest series of the year! The Astros come to Oakland to defend and hopefully expand upon their 2 game lead in the AL West. The A’s hope to sweep, and take the divisional lead.

The Astros were ice cold in their home stand, losing five straight, but broke out Wednesday night against the Rockies 12-1. And tonight GEORGE SPRINGER IS BAAAAACK.

On the mound Charlie Morton faces Edwin Jackson.

Here’s the lineup.
