Notes
Houston enters the series 67-67 and one game ahead of Texas in the AL West. The Astros are 24-14 against teams at or above .500 but 43-53 against everyone else, making this three-game set against the 60-74 Mets another test of one of the season’s strangest statistical splits. Hunter Brown gets the opener as Houston looks to build on its series win over the Yankees.
