THE PITCHERS

RHP JERED WEAVER (7-11, 4.74)

The Astros have tended to be a good matchup for Weaver. They are a free-swinging team that takes big hacks, and they have difficulty with Weaver’s assortment of tantalizingly slow pitches. Weaver is 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA against the Astros this season. In his last outing, he took a shutout in the sixth inning, before he gave up a two-run homer to Carlos Gomez.
