Below we have a Milwaukee Brewers and Houston Astros series preview including team news, probable starting pitchers, as well as an injury report.
Milwaukee Brewers (25-21) News
After starting the 2023 season off by winning five out of the first six series the Brewers have dropped seven of their last nine. Injuries have hit the pitching staff the most, in particular the starters for Brandon Woodruff, Wade Miley, and Aaron Ashby are all out. Offensively they have been slumping as well for the biggest bright spot right now is Owen Miller’s 13 game hit streak.
Houston Astros (27-19) News
It was a slow start to the season for the Astros, but they are currently riding a seven game win streak and have won nine out of their last 10 games. They recently got Jose Altuve back after he sustained a thumb fracture during the World Baseball Classic. Yordan Alvarez has been a monster at the plate and former Milwaukee Brewer Mauricio Dubon leads the team in batting average at .309.
