What to watch
– The Astros are at home and looking to keep steady ground in the playoff push, with Altuve providing veteran leadership at the top of the order.
– Houston will lean on a strong starting trio to set the tone early in the series, while Colorado aims to spark offense against a familiar NL you-know-it-when-you-see-it arm talent on the mound.
– The series offers a mix of youthful upside and veteran presence, with Tuesday’s matchup featuring Brown taking the ball to start the opener.
Outlook and notes
– Houston enters as the clearer favorite given their record and current form, but the Rockies will look to spoil the party and build momentum as the season winds down.
– The schedule runs through the middle of the week, with a Sunday-like Monday presence in the week, and fans can catch games on SCHN and COLR, with streaming options available via Fubo.
Bottom line
This series gives the Astros a chance to reinforce their position as they head toward the final stretch, anchored by Altuve’s steadying influence and a rotation that has shown flashes of excellence. For Rockies fans, there’s a chance to see competitive at-bats from a club fighting to finish strong and build toward next season. Expect competitive baseball, late-inning twists, and a framework for how both teams plan to approach the next phase of their respective seasons.
