The defending World Series champion Houston Astros are healthy again and they've won six in a row, following Monday's win over their closest challenger in the AL West. Alex Bregman and Tyler White homered and drove in four runs each and Jose Altuve had two more hits in the 11-4 win over Oakland, which is now 9-20 the last 29 meetings at Minute Maid Park. The Astros have won 37 of their last 53 homes against right-handed starters and they're up against Edwin Jackson, who had his worst start in nearly a month when he gave up four runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings against Texas on Wednesday. Jackson has one start against Houston this season and allowed two runs on five hits in five innings. Charlie Morton is 13-3 with a 3.05 ERA and has allowed more than three runs just once his last seven starts. Morton is 8-2 at home this season and 9-2 with a 2.70 ERA in night games. Take the Astros.
