The Astros have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against the St. Louis Cardinals, they secured a narrow victory with a final score of 3-2. This win was characterized by solid hitting and strategic play, with the team accumulating eight hits and leveraging three runs to edge out their opponents. Their bullpen played a crucial role, maintaining an impressive ERA of 0.0 over 6.1 innings pitched and showcasing resilience by not allowing any earned runs.


However, looking back at another recent game against the New York Mets reveals some vulnerabilities in the Astros' armor. Despite putting up a valiant effort, they were outplayed with a final scoreline reflecting a 7-2 loss for Houston. This particular match highlighted areas for improvement as they allowed seven earned runs on eleven hits.


One standout aspect for the Astros has been their ability to adapt and respond under pressure, particularly evident in their close encounter against Venezuela where they nearly matched their opponent's nine runs with eight of their own despite falling short.


As we approach this matchup against the Marlins at The Ballpark of The Palm Beaches—a venue known for its unique playing conditions—fans should keep an eye on how these dynamics play out on game day. With both teams showing fluctuating performances recently, it will be interesting to see if home advantage tips the scale in favor of Houston.


Astros enthusiasts should mark their calendars for March 12th at 1:05 PM ET to catch all live action from West Palm Beach on SportsNet SW or attend in person to support their team directly from The Ballpark of The Palm Beaches.
