The Astros are coming into this game playing in some high scoring games recently as they have seen 10 runs total or more in 2 of their last 3 games and have also been playing very well in those as they have won 2 of their last 3 as well as 5 of their last 7 games trying to catch the Rangers in 1st place of their division. They are going up against an Orioles team that has also been playing very well recently as they have won their last 4 straight as well as 7 of their last 8 games and they have also been in a lot of high scoring games as they have also seen 10 runs or more in 2 of their last 3 games. Framber Valdez is starting for the Astros here and he is 9-7 with a 3.07 ERA this season. He has been pitching well this season but he had an awful July as he has allowed 4 earned runs or more in 3 of his last 4 as well as 4 of his last 6 starts. He has also been awful on the road recently as he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in his last 3 straight as well as allowing at least 3 earned runs in his last 4 straight road starts. He is coming off of a great start in his last one as he pitched a full game no hitter against the Guardians, but the Guardians also have one of the worst offenses in the league and it will be tough for him to follow that up with another great performance against this much better Orioles offense. Grayson Rodriguez is starting for the Orioles here and he is 2-3 with a 6.09 ERA this season. He is just a rookie but he has not been good all season as he has been allowing a lot of runs. He has allowed at least 3 earned runs in 3 of his last 5 as well as 4 of his last 7 starts and he has also been awful at home as he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in 3 of his last 4 starts there, allowing at least 8 earned runs in 2 of those as well. The Astros offense has been heating up recently and they are on a mission to catch the Rangers in 1st place but the Orioles have also been playing very well and will be leaning on their offense in this home game to get another win under their belt. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
