The Astros are tied with the Mariners for the lead in the American League West. What do they have to do to win it?

Matt Snyder joins Brandon Baylor and Zach Aldridge to discuss the Mariners and Astros continuing to battle for the top spot in the AL West.

The Mariners have already erased the Astros' AL West lead, and now Houston is down yet another key player because of injury.

Hunter Brown allowed only a run in 6 2/3 innings for his 10th victory, Jeremy Peña and Yainer Diaz homered and the Houston Astros beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 on Wednesday night. Brown (10-5) allowed six hits and three walks and held Boston to 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position.

Carlos Correa was one of several Houston batters who went hitless in last night’s blowout loss, but my Red Sox vs. Astros predictions and MLB picks expect him to lead the charge on Wednesday, August 13. Red Sox vs Astros best bet: Carlos Correa Over 0.5 RBI ( +160 at Caesars)
