The tough Oakland A’s come into Houston hoping to sweep the World Champions, which would give them undisputed first place in the AL West. They have beaten the Astros in 5 of the last 7 games played between the two teams and come into Houston as one of the best teams in baseball over the last two months, and have won 7 of their last 10 games.

The Astros are fighting too, and have a five game winning streak going into this crucial series. An Astros sweep would be critical blow to the A’s hopes for a division title.
