Pitching Showdown Looms: Will Nationals or Astros Dominate in This High-Stakes Battle?
The Astros are a team that somehow finds ways to win. They’ve lost player after player, pitcher after pitcher, and figured out ways to get to the postseason. Before you say it is because they are cheating, I’m just going to mention that I think there is a lot more cheating and gamesmanship happening than we expect. Also, there is probably a lot more sports betting drama or things happening than you’d expect. Eventually, things get caught, and people, leagues, teams, and sportsbooks make adjustments. Through anything though, the Astros have found ways to field a winning team, no matter who is on their roster. The Astros are losing quite a bit right now though, having dropped five straight and only holding a three game lead over Seattle, four over Texas, and just eight over the Angels. This division is still up for grabs. Today they send out Jason Alexander to the mound in hopes of changing their fortune. Not the guy from Seinfeld, by the way. Alexander is 1-1 for the season with a 8.14 ERA and a 1.90 WHIP over 21 innings. He has issued 12 walks in his innings. After coming over from the Athletics, he has faced them twice in three outings with Houston. His last one he was hit to the tune of 11 hits and five earned runs. The good news is that the Nationals have a total of three at-bats against him, so they should be somewhat guessing while they’re up there.
