    Not a fan of this lineup. It is well balanced, but isn't specialized for Felix. Guessing Astros prefer Marisnick in the cavernous park formerly known as Safeco.

    It’s their 9 best offensive players and their best defensive lineup. What would you change?

    Kemp and White are both 0-3 against Felix. Jake is 2-5. I would rather have Jake's defense as well. Springer, Brantley, Bregman, Altuve, and Correa all have solid numbers against Felix.

    Only if you base decisions on small sample sizes would one consider this the best 9 offensive players. I'd go with Kemp over Marisnick against a RHP the day after facing a lefty even though Marisnick has hit nearly everyone this year.

    Right? Kemp in LF v Jake in CF is the only real change you could debate, and if that makes the difference in the game offensively then we're probably screwed anyway.

    Plus...Verlander throws a ton of fly balls. Hinch might know a thing or 2.

    eta: and apropos of nothing, I think more people should be named "Mallex"
