Chicago’s offence has scored 498 runs this season at an average of .260 and an on base percentage of .313. Pitcher Dylan Cease went five innings and allowed three runs and six hits. He had gone a major league-record 14 consecutive starts without allowing more than one earned run. After the game, he said, “I was disappointed. It wasn’t my sharpest outing. But it was close enough to keep us in it. Everyone else picked me up. Getting a win definitely helps that.”
On the other hand, Houston stands at 75-43 for the season and comes into this game on the back of a 4-3 loss to the White Sox in the previous game. They sit in first place on the AL West table with a win percentage of .636. They have lost the first two games of this series but that is not a cause for concern as they won their last three games before that.
The Astros’ offence has scored 530 runs this season at an average of .244 and an on base percentage of .318. Justin Verlander gave away three runs and had four strikeouts in the last game and was not happy that he gave away the runs. After the game, he said, “It doesn’t matter top of the order, bottom of the order, middle of the order, I don’t like giving up runs, especially in that situation late like that. Not happy about it.”
