Astros Series Preview: The Hope of Heating Up in the Desert

Did you know that the Astros are facing the Arizona Diamondbacks, is the series of the two literally hottest major league baseball cities?

Thank god the Diamondbacks play indoors because the average high in the Phoenix summer is roughly around 101 degrees Fahrenheit. Jeez. In Houston comparatively, we’re kind of lucky. The city of the champions average summer high is around a mere 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Though Houston does have humidity levels that are over forty percent higher than Phoenix, it’s still not so simple to fry an egg while in line at Minute Maid Park.
