On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Astros series preview
Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesTwo members of the Cubs, Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly, will be having homecomings this weekend in Houston, where both had several productive years and won World Series rings in 2022.
For more on the Astros, here’s William Metzger, managing editor of our SB Nation Astros site The Crawfish Boxes.
Entering this series, the Astros occupy their accustomed position in first place in the AL West, 6½ games ahead of the Seattle Mariners. And they are 1½ games ahead of the Yankees for second place overall in the American League.
OK, sounds about like what you’d expect from the Houston team since 2017. Nothin’ to see here.
