Astros News
The Houston Astros continue to slide into icy waters, sitting at 6-7 and coming off a rough stretch with a 2-5 record over the past week. With their pitching staff in disarray, highlighted by injuries to Javier and Meyers, and the underwhelming performance of Tatsuya Imai, the Astros are in a tough spot as they face the struggling Mariners tonight. Fans are already voicing concerns that Imai's contract may backfire, especially after the team's recent run differential of -10. Meanwhile, the offense has shown flashes with Yordan Alvarez batting .317, but it seems the entire lineup is in desperate need of a fresh spark. This three-game series is crucial for rekindling momentum before the season slips further away.
