Chris Archer is rounding back into form and has dominated the Astros going 3-0 with a 0.80 ERA in five career starts versus Houston. Current Astros have a lifetime .172 batting average against Archer.

Houston still could be missing star shortstop Carlos Correa, who has a sprained left ankle. Tampa Bay meanwhile just got versatile Logan Forysythe back from the DL. He had two hits last night while batting leadoff.

The Astros are not built for Astrotruf where they are 7-19 the past 26 times. They have lost six in a row at Tropicana Field.

Houston starter Mike Fiers has a 7.20 road ERA. Not surprisingly the Astros have dropped all five of his road outings this season. Fiers has a 5.85 ERA during day games and can't count on an inconsistent Houston bullpen that has a 4.47 road ERA.
