In their most recent game against the Cardinals, they secured a victory with a notable difference in runs, showcasing their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Their hitting statistics have been particularly strong; with an average of .289 and slugging percentage reaching .500, indicating powerful batting that could pose significant challenges for the Space Cowboys' pitchers.

Pitching has also been a strong suit for the Astros as evidenced by maintaining an ERA of 3.0 across nine innings in one of their games. Their pitchers have managed to keep opponents' batting averages low (.129), which speaks volumes about their control and strikeout capabilities.

Looking Ahead
