The second game of the series between Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics will be played next Wednesday, September 11th, and it will represent a big chance for Houston Astros to try to increase their advantage on the AL West Division. However, it’s a fact that Oakland is a really dangerous team in this last part of the regular season as they’ve nothing left to lose.

In this regard, Oakland Athletics currently have a 62W-82L record, so their chances of qualifying to the playoffs are practically null. However, it’s important to note that Brent Rooker is having a very good batting performance during his most recent 7 games in which he scored 5 runs and 2 home runs.

Meanwhile, Houston Astros’ inconsistency has caused them to be stuck on their 4.5 games above Seattle Mariners, so they still are forced to play at their highest possible level to remain in the top spot of the AL West Division. For this purpose, Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez need to carry on with the amazing performance that has allowed them to score in total 12 runs and 5 home runs during their most recent 7 games.
