 Houston is 7-1 against Oakland this season, and since 2016, Houston's 44-21 record against Oakland is the second-best mark between any two divisional opponents in MLB (Indians vs. Tigers, 52-17).

 The A's have homered in 21 straight games, tied with the Nationals for the second-longest such streak in MLB this season (Yankees, 31) -- the A's last had a longer streak in 1996 (23).

 Since the All-Star break, the A's and Astros are slugging .555 and .508, respectively, the top two marks in the American League. The Astros lead the AL in hits (111) and runs (67) since the break, while the A's have the best record in the AL since the break (7-2).

 Michael Brantley is coming off back-to-back three-hit games, and he's had at least three hits four times in July, tied for most in MLB. He has 10 games of at least three hits in 2019 -- only five American Leaguers have more.

 Jose Altuve has homered in each of his last two games, and his 14 home runs in 2019 have surpassed his total from 2018 (13), despite playing in less than half as many games (137 in 2018, 65 in 2019).

 Ramon Laureano has scored 20 runs in July, second in MLB to Mookie Betts (23). Laureano has 14 extra-base hits this month, tied for second in MLB behind Yuli Gurriel (15). His nine multi-hit games this month are tied for most in MLB.

As first impressions go, Homer Bailey made a good one on the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.
But Bailey was acquired to help Oakland beat teams like the Houston Astros, who he faces Monday night in the opener of the teams' big three-game series at Minute Maid Park in Houston.

Bailey prepares for second A's start vs. Astros

HOUSTON (AP)  On the night the Houston Astros celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing by NASA's Apollo 11, the number 11 factored prominently into a lopsided win over the Oakland Athletics.
Gerrit Cole pitched seven strong innings and Aledmys Diaz, Yordan Alvarez and Yuli Gurriel homered as the Astros jumped on Homer Bailey for nine runs early and sailed to an 11-1 win over the Athletics on Monday night.
