Houston has won nine of its last 11 after Tuesday's 3-1 win over Oakland - its third straight win against the Athletics this season. The Astros have won Mike Fiers' last two starts, including 5-4 over Tampa Bay on Friday when he allowed three runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings, which followed an outing at Baltimore when Fiers gave up just a run on five hits in seven innings. The right-hander has done his best work at home this season with a 6-3 record and 3.43 ERA. Oakland has fallen into last place in the AL West after losing 11 of its last 16 games. The Athletics are #27 in the majors with a .699 OPS and tonight's starter, Ross Detwiler, is 1-3 with a 5.74 ERA and his team has lost his last three starts. Detwiler has given up 14 runs and 23 hits his last 14 innings pitched. Oakland has lost nine of its last 11 games in Houston. Take the Astros.
