Astros are 7th in runs scored in AL and currently have the 3rd highest team batting avg. (.260) in all of baseball. Only Padres and Diamondbacks have higher batting average. Also, Houston has the 3rd fewest team strikeouts in all of baseball. Only Padres and Royals have struck out fewer times than the Astros. Now as of late, it's been the hitting with runner on or scoring position that Houston has been poor. That has to get better. Astros pitching is still improving. Now down to a season best team ERA of 3.75. They are also now 2nd in AL in runs allowed. Houston is in the middle of an 18 game schedule where they do not have a day off. This current road trip is a doozy with Baltimore and Philly. If Houston can get the win this afternoon, I actually am ok with them going 3-4 on the road against those two opponents. The goal for Houston is to get to 86-87 wins. Seattle will not get to that number. Astros can go 17-13 the rest of the season and that will most likely win the division. I just don't see Seattle going 21-8 or 20-9 the remainder of the season. Yes the Astros have lost 6 of their last 8 games. But Seattle has only won 3 of their last 8 and just 4 of their last 14 games against lesser opponents (minus the 3 games they had against the Dodgers) MLB currently has Houston as an 88% chance to win the division and 90% chance to make playoffs. But I am not surprised by some comments from the "glass half empty" section.

We have 66 coverage area games for this week. 7 on Thursday, 55 on Friday, 4 on Saturday. Pickem is only 25 games. Like 99 stated, he likes to spread it around and try to get all the teams in at one time during the season. We have 82 total teams in our coverage area. So some weeks there will be some teams not included.

Probably around 5pm

I agree. Same goes for Jones to United.

So wrong. Most likely the other way around.

#7 Notre Dame at #20 Texas A&M(-3) #14 Clemson at #1 Georgia(-13.5) #13 LSU(-4.5) vs #23 USC Colorado St at #4 Texas(-32.5) #19 Miami(-2.5) at Florida #8 Penn St(-8.5) at West Virginia TCU(-9) at Stanford Lamar at Texas St Those two spreads got me very curious.

I 100% agree. Was just answering the question from the other poster about how many defensive starters returned. Carry on

Need @CardinalBacker to answer that question.

According to DCTF, DT Simmons and DB Garza-Adams return on defense. The other publications are the Examiner and Enterprise with their preseason mag.

Jaydon Miller, Jacaleb Johnson are two of the three.

According to DCTF, Jasper has 6 returning on offense and 2 returning on defense. A couple of other publications have it the same.

Texan Live will be doing this game.

I have. Pure trash it is not. But that's your opinion. I think these guys do just fine with what and who they cover.

Explain please

I agree to a point. Not so sure HF is better defensively this year. Lost a lot on that side of the ball. All three LB's, 2 DB's and a DL. All were very significant on that side of the ball. Particularly two of the LB's. HF offense will be their strength. Lot's of weapons and a good offensive line. Still my pick to win district. As for this game, I got HF by 14

Audio broadcast will be here. No video to my knowledge.

Rangers lost

Physically attend.

That looks about right. But some I think were hold overs from JV scrimmage.
