Game Preview
Tonight is the second of three games between the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox that will be played at Fenway Park. Last night, the Astros prevailed in game one, and they’ll try to repeat that feat today. The offense carried the day, scoring 13 runs, six of which came in the sixth inning to reclaim the lead.
After being shut out by the Astros’ offense yesterday, the Red Sox will try to get back on track with a victory at home today. Despite being 5.5 games behind the Astros and Rangers, they are not mathematically eliminated from the American League wild card competition.
The Astros are confident after Friday night’s 13-5 victory over the Red Sox, which gave them the opportunity to win the series on the road. We anticipate a similar performance from their offensive, as of late they have been on fire.
In their last three games, the Astros’ offense has been outstanding. This offense has scored 39 runs in the last three games against the Tigers (twice) and the Red Sox, resulting in victories in all three contests. In their last three games, they have collected 57 hits, with 17 runs scored on Sunday thanks to 25 hits.
The shortstop for the Astros, one of the top hitters in the MLB, Jose Altuve has returned to his role as club captain. Altuve has spent time on the IL twice this year, but when he’s healthy, he’s been fantastic.
His.409 on-base percentage and.314 batting average rank in the top 5 in the Major Leagues. He’s a fantastic player, as evidenced by the fact that he concluded yesterday night’s game with a perfect four-for-four line (four hits, four runs, four RBIs). For the fourth game in a row, we can anticipate a strong performance from the Astros’ offense with Altuve at the helm.
