Houston Astros are really struggling coming off yet another game where they could not score runs even for famed starter Justin Verlander. Gerrit Cole goes for the Astros he is 6-5 with a 3.67 ERA he has a whopping 142 strike outs and 22 walks.
Last start for Gerrit Cole he went 6 innings giving up just 2 runs and striking out 10 guys. If you go 2 starts ago Cole struck out 14 batter and did not walk anyone as he continues to get stronger and stronger. Astros biggest issue is their injury's.

Astros are without key players Carlos Correa,George Springer and Jose Altuve. Reds counter in game 3 of this series with former prospect Tyler Mahle he is 2-7 this year as the Reds just never seem to hit for him Tyler has 73 strike outs and 17 walks this year.
Really Tyler has good numbers especially strike out to walk ratio Reds just struggle to hit the ball for him and I see that trend continuing on Wednesday afternoon. Look for Tyler Mahle to come out with a chip on his shoulder as he was none to happy with being pulled in the 4th innings against the Texas Rangers.
