The Rays are coming into this game playing much better recently as they have won 2 of their last 3 games and have scored at least 4 runs in 2 of those. They are going up against an Astros team that has also been playing very well recently and their offense has been heating as well. Taj Bradley is starting for the Rays here and he is 5-6 with a 5.30 ERA this season. He is just a rookie and he has been pitching like it this season as he has been allowing quite a few runs in a lot of his starts. He has consistently allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of his last 5 starts and has also allowed 4 or more earned runs in 3 of those starts. He also faced the Astros earlier this season and allowed 3 earned runs against them back in April in a home start when the Astros offense was not nearly as hot as they are now. Now the Astros offense has been heating up a lot recently as they are starting to score a lot more runs in their games while Bradley has not been great in his road starts recently, allowing at least 5 earned runs in 2 of his last 3 road starts. The Astros are trying to catch the Rangers in 1st place of their division so they are going to be motivated to win this game after a close loss last night and they will be hungry to light Bradley up with the way he has been pitching recently. Hunter Brown is starting for the Astros in this game and he is 6-7 with a 4.19 ERA this season. He is also just a rookie and has not been pitching well in his recent starts either as he has also consistently allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of his last 4 starts and has allowed at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his last 3. He has not been good at home recently either as he has allowed at least 5 earned runs in each of his last 2 as well as 3 of his last 4 home starts. Both of these offenses have been getting hot recently and both will be hungry to win this game, expect both offenses to score some runs here with the way these teams have been pitching. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
