The Astros are on a hot roll, winning three straight against Arizona and looking to keep it going Friday night. Hunter Brown shined in their last win over Chicago, striking out seven, while Jose Altuve powered the offense with a homer and two RBIs. Arizona snapped a three-game skid with a gritty 1-0 shutout, but their offense remains quiet—just three hits total. Houston leads the series 4-3 from their last meeting, and despite Cristian Javier’s shaky season ERA, he’s got a solid history vs. Arizona. Arizona counters with Merrill Kelly, who’s been strong lately including a shutout. The Astros’ offense is humming, especially Isaac Paredes, who’s reached base in 11 straight games. With both teams hovering around .500, this one could be a battle of momentum—and the oddsmakers favor Houston.
