The Astros last played yesterday, unfortunately losing to the Angels in a close 2-1 game. This loss may have affected their morale, and playing on short rest could be a struggle for them. The Blue Jays, however, played well yesterday and beat the Mets 6-4, and they could be coming into this game with a lot of momentum.
If we take a look back at the last time that these two teams played each other, it was on April 19, 2023, when the Astros beat the Blue Jays 8-1. Interestingly enough, in that game, the total (9.0) was a push. Will history repeat itself, or will we see a different outcome this time around?
