Estes will face an Astros club that is 27-19 since the All-Star break and their bats have been red hot recently as they sport a .741 OPS since September 1st, good for 4th best in the league. Meanwhile Joey Estes has been inconsistent at best, while really struggling away from Oakland owning a 6.66 ERA on the road, compared to 2.74 at home. Estes got lit up in a previous start this season against Houston where he only lasted 3.1 IP.
