Two tough losses will not deter the spirits of the Astros, nor their fans. The luck turns. Tonight. Now. Time to string together some hits instead of smashing into double plays.
One important factor that will decide this game is, can Jose Urquidy hold the Rays lineup as well as Framber Valdez and Lance McCullers did the last two nights. In a shortened season within the shortened season, Urquidy had a 2.73 ERA in almost 30 innings pitched. Good results in a small sample, but a FIP of 4.73 and an extreme flyball profile calls the reliability of this ERA into question.
