KEY GAME INFORMATION
HOUSTON: Expectations are high for the Astros following last year's surprising return to the playoffs after a 10-year absence. The question will be if they can build on the success of 2015 and outdo in-state rival Texas in for the A.L. West crown. If they hope to repeat or eclipse last year's success, they'll need another strong season from Keuchel, and more growth from Correa. They know they can count on Altuve to get the offense going, but they'll have to get production from their corner infielders if they hope to take another step. Houston boosted its bullpen with the addition of Giles, a young closer who throws hard. But there are questions about the back of the rotation behind Keuchel and McHugh. Promising youngster Lance McCullers (6-7, 3.22 in 22 starts) will begin the season on the DL with a sore right shoulder. Gattis also is expected to start the year on the DL as he recovers from sports hernia surgery. But the bottom line is these Astros aren't going to sneak up on anyone the way they did last year, and they'll need to improve across the board to win that first World Series title as Sports Illustrated predicted.
OAKLAND: After three straight playoff berths, the A's fell all the way to last place in 2015 when Billy Beane's bold moves to trade Yoenis Cespedes midway through 2014 and future MVP Josh Donaldson last offseason backfired. Oakland spent this offseason overhauling an ineffective bullpen and adding a few pieces to a lineup that needed help. Last year's 4.56 ERA for the relievers was the worst in the AL, and the team's 25 blown saves were second-worst. That led to a 19-35 record in one-run games, the most one-run losses in the majors. A healthy Doolittle and the additions of Axford, Madson, Rzepczynski and Hendriks should fortify the bullpen. Getting the ball there remains a question because Gray is the only proven starter. Hill went from independent ball to the majors and used a 1.55 ERA in four September starts to get a deal with Oakland and a spot in the rotation. Hahn and Graveman are coming off injuries, and Bassitt had one win in 13 starts. The return of Lowrie should help shore up the defense after the A's led the majors with 126 errors. Davis adds a needed power bat in the outfield. The A's have been surprise contenders before after making under-the-radar offseason additions, but it might be tough to pull that off this season.
PREVIEW
Astros-Athletics Preview
By KEVIN MASSOTH STATS Writer

The Houston Astros' sluggish start has resulted in some changes, one of them netting Chris Devenski his first big-league start.

The Oakland Athletics have re-shaped their own rotation and will counter with another fresh face Saturday.

While Devenski hopes to lift the struggling Astros after another deflating loss in the opener, Jesse Hahn will try to give the Athletics their seventh win in the last eight meetings of this series in Oakland.

Houston (7-16) seemed to finally have its first winning streak in hand with a 4-2 lead Friday entering the bottom of the eighth inning. Instead, the Athletics (12-12) rallied for a 7-4 victory, capped by Yonder Alonso's mammoth walk-off three-run homer with one out in the ninth.

Ken Giles, Tony Sipp and Pat Neshek combined to cough up five runs in the final two innings, leaving the Astros' bullpen with an AL-worst 4.94 ERA.

Houston's eighth loss in 10 games has it tied with Minnesota for the league's worst record. The Astros fell to 3-10 on the road, better than only the Twins' 1-10 mark.

"What's been consistent is every mistake we make has been magnified," manager A.J. Hinch said. "They come back to haunt us."

It was another shocking loss for the Astros, who led the AL with a 3.57 ERA a year ago on the way to their first postseason berth since 2005.

So far this season, Houston ranks dead last in the league with a 5.08 ERA - a 5.16 mark from its starters. While Lance McCullers is out with shoulder soreness, ace Dallas Keuchel and Collin McHugh have yet to duplicate their success from last season.

It will be up to a rookie to halt the downhill trend, which includes at least seven runs allowed in five of the last 10 games.

Devenski (0-0, 0.66 ERA) has been a lone bright spot out of the bullpen, holding opponents to 11 hits and one solo home run in 13 2/3 innings. The right-hander has walked just one batter while striking out a dozen.

He's switching roles at least for one turn in the rotation with the ineffective Scott Feldman and will face an Oakland lineup that had struggled mightily before breaking out late Friday night.

The Athletics had averaged 3.5 runs in their previous six games but used homers from Alonso, Marcus Semien and Coco Crisp to pull out their third straight home win after opening 1-7 at O.co Coliseum.

But while Alonso's late heroics served as a shot in the arm, Oakland is in need of some to fill its starting rotation.

After opening a season-high 10-game road trip with four straight wins, Oakland starters struggled to a 9.67 ERA while finishing the trip 1-5. The kicker was the news Chris Bassitt was headed to the 15-day disabled list with a right elbow strain.

Sean Manaea, Oakland's top pitching prospect, made his big league debut in Friday's opener of a six-game homestand, and it will be Hahn to follow.

The right-hander was called up from Triple-A Nashville, where he battled blister issues to go 0-1 with a 2.04 ERA. He went 6-6 with a 3.35 ERA in 16 starts with Oakland last season before a forearm injury ended his second big league season.

Hahn didn't make a roster spot after a flat spring in which he had a 11.15 ERA and .382 opponents average.

"I was pretty motivated," he told MLB's official website. "I just wanted to make it a short stay and do everything I needed to do to get back up here as quick as possible."
