Baltimore Orioles vs. Houston Astros Prediction
The Houston Astros are starting to get healthy at the right time and their recent success at the plate is a byproduct of having all of their guys in the lineup. Over the last month, the Astros rank No. 1 in wRC+ (149), No. 1 in OPS (.903), and have the lowest K rate (14.9%) against right-handing pitching.
Kyle Gibson has struggled as of late allowing 3 or more earned runs in 6 of his last 7 outings. The Astros lineup has a long history against Gibson with over 210 career plate appearances, a .276 batting average, and a .773 OPS
The Astros are in a tight division race with the Mariners and Rangers which makes every game more important down the stretch. Expect the offense to stay hot against Gibson tonight and to put up at least 3 earned runs against him
