Preview
The downpours may have stopped in Houston but the Astros are raining extra-base hits against the Blue Jays this series. The Astros have eight doubles and three home runs this series. Now they face the pitcher that gave up the most home runs in baseball in 2014, Marco Estrada.
Estrada lead the majors in home runs allowed with 29 in 2014. As previously mentioned, the Astros lead the American League in home runs - not the matchup made in heaven for Estrada. He is only making his third start this season after making six relief appearances. In his two starts, he has allowed 7 earned runs over 9 2/3 innings.
