Houston won again on Tuesday for its 10th victory in a row while the Athletics were still recovering from a nine-game road trip and lost their second straight game. Alex Bregman hit a grand slam and Josh Reddick added a two-run shot to back Collin McHugh. The Astros send Wade Miley to the mound on Wednesday and he pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings against Oakland on April 6. Miley has allowed six earned runs and struck out 10 in 15 2/3 innings this year. Frankie Montas faced the Astros on April 5 and was the losing pitcher in a 3-2 defeat although he allowed just two runs on seven hits in five innings. However, Houston hitters have a combined .361 batting average versus Montas. Houston has won eight of the last 10 meetings at Oakland and the Astros have won 37 of their last 52 overall and 46 of their last 65 road games. Houston is 41-18 the last 59 meetings overall. Take the Astros.
