    Another team we match up well with. Top heavy lineups for both and damn good starting pitchers.
    Get to their bullpen and avoid self inflicting mistakes. Also avoid extra innings but that's a given.

    Astros win series 3-1 or a tie works too.

    Bobby Witt is a mere mortal away from KC

    Astros should go back to cheating at home. They're terrible at home! Instead of repainting the batters eye, put a damn camera there with a buzzer on every Astros.

    Looks like the first 3 guys have been roughed up a bit lately. Fingers crossed that continues.

    Fantastic matchups these first 3 games:

    Singer/Brown
    Lugo/Valdez
    Ragans/Kikuchi

    Marsh/Blanco likely on Sunday

    I feel good about the first 2 games. I think we hold the advantage. KC slight advantage game 3 and then Astros decided advantage on Sunday.

    Let's take 3 of 4.

    Singer 6.23 ERA last 4 starts.
    Lugo 5.58 ERA last 8 starts.
    Ragans consistent - 22 of 27 starts 3 runs or less, 2 clunkers

    I'm going W, W, L, W.

    Whoah. Gamel batting fifth. Espada's got a lot of faith in him, but he's definitely earned it in his short time here. With Heyward in there now, this should be a solid lefty-heavy lineup!

    Why is Bryan King chosen over Caleb Ferguson in being sent down to make room for Pressly?

    Seriously this is GM/Manager malpractice.

    Y'all get ready for Ferguson to be on that post season roster.

    Nobody on here can defend that move.

    Yep, this lineup should be solid against righties even without Tucker. Once Tucker gets back it should be really really good.

    Only three AL teams have fewer losses at home this season.

    Astros home record is better their road.

    Let's take 3 against KC while Witt remains a mere mortal.

    I dont like Yordan batting 2nd. I wonder what the Stros record is when Yordan's batting 2nd?

    Also not looking forward to Singleton screwing up defensively in a game where the teams are pretty evenly matched. I'm guessing Framber will pitch a b**** of Singleton is playing 1B in any of his starts. I know I would be griping loud enough for Espada to hear me if I was Framber.

    Imagine putting Caratini in this lineup instead of Singleton.
