The red-hot Houston Astros (60-42) head into Thursday’s tilt against the Oakland Athletics (42-61) riding the momentum of a four-game winning streak, and they’ll be looking to keep that fire burning.

Meanwhile, things haven’t gone quite as smoothly for Oakland. The A’s have dropped three of their last four, continue to struggle for consistency, and sit at the bottom of the AL West, a full eight games behind the fourth-place Angels. A win Thursday could help them start clawing their way back up the division ladder.

Houston, on the other hand, has shaken off a series loss to the Mariners by taking care of business against the Diamondbacks. They sit comfortably atop the AL West with a five-game cushion over Seattle, and they’ll look to widen that gap while grabbing another series win when they take the field Thursday.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch Houston Astros vs Oakland Athletics MLB game, plus plenty more.
