Astros' Recent Performance


The Astros have had a rollercoaster ride in their last few games. They secured a convincing win against the Kansas City Royals with a 7-3 victory, showcasing their offensive prowess by scoring seven runs on nine hits. However, they also faced setbacks with two consecutive losses where they struggled offensively, failing to score any runs despite having opportunities.


Houston's pitching has been relatively strong overall, maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of 2.25 over recent games. Their starters have been particularly effective, keeping opponents' batting averages low and striking out batters consistently. The bullpen has also shown resilience but will need to tighten up further against Detroit's lineup.
