The Astros took the first game of their series against the White Sox 6-3, thus closing out August by winning four of their last five games, plus the rest of a pivotal September to solidify their lead in the AL West.
The Astros were leading by one run in the fifth inning when starter Anthony Kay issued a bases-loaded walk to Walker, putting the Astros up 4-2. Smith then hit an RBI double off reliever Richards. Montgomery followed with a solo home run to narrow the gap and seal the final score. With this win, the Astros continue to be a particularly effective team against opponents with a winning record above .500; they now have a 26-14 record in such situations.
Yordan Álvarez went 1-for-3 with an RBI; the Cuban remains in contention for the AL Triple Crown, with a .317 batting average, 37 home runs, and 94 RBIs. In a season where he has played in 136 games, it's clear that the Astros' designated hitter has a high chance of winning the MVP.

Our Houston Astros vs Chicago White Sox Prediction
For Houston, Ronel Blanco will start Tuesday's game. He had lost his spot in the rotation, and in fact, the Astros had sent him down to Triple-A at the beginning of August. They've given him another chance; his numbers this year in MLB aren't good: a 7.71 ERA in 23.1 innings across five games.
Sean Burke will start for the White Sox, and he had a noticeable lack of control. He issued an unusual 8 walks against the Rangers, lasting only 3 innings in which he managed to reduce the damage to 2 ER.
Our prediction for Astros vs White Sox is: Over 8.5 runs.
