Houston, TX – The red-hot Houston Astros aim to continue their winning ways as they welcome the Chicago White Sox to town for a three-game series starting Friday.
After a sluggish homestand, the Astros have caught fire, winning eight straight games including sweeps of the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays. This surge has propelled them to a three-game lead over the Seattle Mariners in the AL West.
The White Sox, on the other hand, are struggling. Their bullpen has been a particular point of weakness, as evidenced by their recent 10-2 loss to the New York Yankees. Interim manager Grady Sizemore expressed confidence in his relievers despite the recent struggles.
Pitching Matchups
