Houston Astros
The Houston Astros are facing a challenging stretch of games after losing four out of their last five. Currently third in the AL West, they are two games behind the second-place Athletics. Christian Walker, their first baseman, has been a key player for the team with four home runs and ten RBIs so far. Jose Altuve has also been a strong contributor, with 14 RBIs and a .259 batting average. Isaac Parades, the third baseman, has also shown power at the plate with four homers and 14 RBIs. Framber Valdez will be looking to bounce back in his next start after a tough stretch, with a record of 1-4 this season. Despite their recent struggles, the Astros have a solid defense, ranking fifth in the league, but their offense has been lacking, ranking 19th. Currently 17-17, the team will need to regroup and refocus in order to climb back up the standings in the AL West.
