Political discussions belong in the D&D forum not in here. All games are broadcast on Space City Network unless otherwise noted. 7-11 Jack Leiter (R) vs. Lance McCullers Jr. (R) 7:10 7-12 Jacob deGrom (R) vs. Framber Valdez (L) 6:35 FOX only 7-13 Nathan Eovaldi (R) vs. Hunter Brown (R) 1:10
Don't know what the projected runs total is for the series, but if I was a betting man I'd take the under. Two best pitching staffs in the majors. Eovaldi has been unreal.
Lance has come up big when the pressure is highest. Keeping the team in the game vs Eovaldi until they could get to the bullpen. Giving the team a chance to win in the first game of the Mariner's series after back to back losses to TB. Out dueling Paul Skenes. Setting the table in the Dodgers' series, holding them to 1 run in 6 innings while the bats simply pummeled them. He has had a very inconsistent return to this team, but he has really stepped up in some big spots. I have hope.
Lets hope we improve to 2-0 with mccullers vs eovaldi this year (just don’t look at box score from the 1st game)
Avoid the sweep. Astros have finagled their way into a great season. Don't set notorious history by entering the ASB on a losing streak. Hopefully the second half brings more health.
