Unpredictable is the perfect word to describe the Astros in their last six games. They went to Los Angeles and destroyed the Dodgers' pitching in a spectacular series by Altuve and won all three games on the West Coast, having started as betting underdogs of +140 or higher in each game. However, the opposite occurred on their return to Houston. The Astros were expected to sweep the strugglin' ​​Guardians, but the Astros lost all three games of the series as betting favorites, giving up an unusual number of home runs.

In mid-May, the Astros already had a four-game series at Globe Life Field against the Rangers, in a series they split two games each. Now, starting Friday, they will begin a new series in Houston with Leiter starting for the Rangers and McCullers starting for the Astros.
