NOT SO ONE-SIDED

The most lopsided matchup in baseball history is getting a little more even. Despite losing the first two games of a three-game series, the A’s are still 33-16 all-time vs. the Astros. The .673 winning percentage is tops for teams that have played each other at least 30 times. Boston’s 20-10 record (.667) vs. the Marlins is second best. Houston will go for its first sweep ever against Oakland on Sunday when Asher Wojciechowski (0-1) takes on Drew Pomeranz (1-2).
