Astros series preview: Can the Royals hit in Houston?

It seems as if I have been predicting the Astros’ demise in series previews several times in the past year. And while the franchise does seem to be transitioning to a new era, they are still competitive, just two games back of first in what seems like a very competitive Western Division.

The Astros offense was struggling when the Royals took two out of three from them at Kauffman back in April. The Royals shut them out twice, but the Houston offense has gotten hot lately, scoring 6+ runs in four of their last eight games. The Astros have been a better team at home this year, going 13-8 and took two of three from the Reds on this homestand.
