- Analysis
- The Royals are coming into this game with a 25-18 record this season, but they have not been playing well in their recent games. They are coming off of a 7-5 win against the Astros in the 1st game of this series, but they have lost 2 of their last 3 games and their offense has not been good in these games as they have scored just 2 runs or less in 3 of their last 4 games. They have also been much worse on the road this season at 9-11. They are going up against an Astros team that is 20-20 this season and they have been playing better in their recent games. They have won 3 of their last 5 games now and their offense has been great in these as they have scored at least 5 runs in each of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 5 games. Their pitching has also been better as they have allowed 1 run or less in 3 of their last 5 games. Framber Valdez is starting for the Astros in this game and he is 2-4 with a 3.94 ERA this season. He has been pitching very well recently as he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in 3 of his last 4 starts, and he is coming off of a great start which he allowed 1 earned run in 7 innings. He has also been great against the Royals over the last 2 seasons as he allowed no runs in 7 innings against them last season and he only allowed 2 earned runs in 8 innings against them earlier this season. Kris Bubic is starting for the Royals in this game and he is 4-2 with a 1.69 ERA this season. He has been great in his recent starts as he has not allowed a run in his last 2 starts and he has allowed no runs in 3 of his last 4 as well, but his worst start of the season actually came at home against the Astros as he allowed 4 earned runs in 5 innings there. Now he is going to be on the road where he has struggled more this season and the Astros are going to score some runs on him while Valdez pitches another good game at home. The Astros will win this game at home.
