Notes:
Berkman has hit third and Lee has hit fourth in every game
Lane has batted sixth in every game he's started
The catcher has batted eighth in every game
We've faced four lefties and Ensberg has batted fifth each time we've done so
The first game looks as anomalous today as it did then:
It remains the only game where Scott has started against a lefty,
and the only game in which Everett has batted anywhere but seventh.
The Astros have used nine different lineups, considering order
The most popular has been used three times:
Biggio, 2B
Ensberg, 3B
Berkman, 1B
Lee, LF
Scott, RF
Burke, CF
Everett, SS
Ausmus, C
Pitcher
Regardless of order and just considering personnel, the Astros have used six lineups, the most popular being the one that uses the personnel above, in any order.
