The Astros are tied for the AL lead in wins with 37 with one game to play this month. Of the previous nine teams to have 37 or more wins before June 1, all nine made the playoffs and five won the World Series (2018 Red Sox, 2017 Astros, 2014 Giants, 1998 Yankees and 1984 Tigers).

The Athletics lost their last two games to the Angels, snapping a span of 10 straight wins (not including a suspended game on May 19). They allowed six and 12 runs in the two losses after never allowing more than five runs during the winning streak.

Houston has won four of the first five games against Oakland this season, scoring 5.60 runs per game. The Astros are 32-9 against the A's in games from March through June since 2015 compared to 19-21 in games from July through September.

Alex Bregman hit two home runs in the Astros' last series against the Cubs, and is now tied with teammate George Springer and two others for the MLB-lead in home runs at 17. An Astros player has never led MLB in home runs in a season.

Mike Fiers has a 2.84 ERA with a 0.82 WHIP in his last six starts dating back to April 26. The only qualifying AL pitchers with a lower WHIP in that span are Justin Verlander (0.60) and Chris Sale (0.79).

Brad Peacock has allowed just one run in his last four starts while racking up 32 strikeouts. The last Astros pitcher to allow one run or fewer with 30+ strikeouts in a four-game span was Roger Clemens in April 2005 (also 32 strikeouts and one run allowed).

HP - Ortiz, 1B - Porter, 2B - Reynolds, 3B - Scheurwater

The host Oakland Athletics hope to get slugger Khris Davis back in the lineup Saturday night when they face one of their nemeses, Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander, on the middle day of a three-game series.
The Astros got the upper hand in the series, and continued a season-long dominance of the A's, with a come-from-behind, 3-2 win on Friday night.

A's slugger Davis might return to face Astros

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)  Justin Verlander could hardly fathom his name being mentioned in the same breath as Cy Young.
''Pretty cool, man,'' the Astros ace right-hander said.
