Houston and Seattle sit tied atop the AL West as a pivotal midweek tilt looms. Hunter Brown, carrying a 9-5 mark and a 2.51 ERA, is lined up for the series finale against Boston, a showdown that could decide the division lead. Walker Buehler counters for the Red Sox, bringing a 7-6 record and a 5.40 ERA to Daikin Park. The ballgame airs at 6:10 p.m. local and can be watched on Space City Home Network with radio coverage on 790 AM and 93.3 FM.

Without Josh Hader in the bullpen, Houston will lean on a mix of trusted relievers to bridge to saves, a development that fantasy managers should monitor for late-inning usage. The mood around the Astros centers on “trusting each other” as they navigate bullpen assignments and try to maintain first place in a tight West chase.
