I know the chalk is big, but Scott Kazmir at home and rested, Scott Kazmir looked sharp before the break, and the A's bat are looking good. The Astros Bats coming to life in the last game was the product of errors not good hitting. to me their bats are sort of on a mini slump. A's defense seems to have very little weakness. The Astros are looking to gain some ground on the Mariners but they are 20 games out of first place and things are looking grim. If Kaz lets up more then 2 run I ill be surprised
