  • Astros starter, Framber Valdez, has been dominant, striking out 7 Rays batters through 4 innings, while allowing only 2 hits.

  • Can the Astros’ bullpen maintain its dominance and secure the win?
  • How will the Astros’ lineup adjust to the Rays’ pitching staff, and will they be able to add to their lead?
