Houston started the season on a high note, taking two of three from the New York Mets (March 27-29), but they struggled in their most recent series, getting swept by the San Francisco Giants from Monday to Wednesday. This will be the Astros’ first road game of the season, and they have struggled against the run line, going 1-5 so far.

Minnesota, meanwhile, bounced back from a rough start. After dropping all three games to the St. Louis Cardinals (March 27-30), the Twins rebounded with a series win over the Chicago White Sox, wrapping it up with a 6-1 victory Wednesday. Harrison Bader led the charge, driving in three runs, including a key three-run fourth inning that put the game out of reach. The Twins are 2-4 against the run line this season.
