The Oakland A's have made the most of very little over the years, and this year they are off to a slow start at 14-27. Houston has been a bottom feeder for several years, but the team has been rebuilt and own the best record in the AL, and is off to their best first 40 game start in franchise history. Dallas Keuchel, despite pitching a two-hit nine inning shutout against Oakland this season, did not get a win. He has, however, struggled in his last two trips to the mound, yielding four runs and eight hits in each outing. Despite the gem his last time out vs. Oakland, he owns a career losing record against them. The Stros have not had many answers at home vs. poor teams as they are 1-5 here vs. a team under .400 in their last six and Keuchel is 3-7 in his last 10 starts vs. a losing team. Take Oakland.
