 The Red Sox and the Astros have a combined 184-97 (.655) record entering this series. The last two AL teams to combine for a higher winning percentage entering a matchup this far into the season (at least 140 games) were the A's and the Mariners on September 28, 2001 (.667 combined winning percentage).

 The Astros have won five in a row, and 12 of 15 overall. Over that 15-game span, Houston relievers have a 1.49 ERA and have not allowed more than two runs in any of those games.

 The Red Sox are coming off a road sweep against the Braves. Boston has a 30-8-7 (.744) series record this season; 1912 was the only season in which the team has had a better series record: 30-5-7 (.798).

 Dating back to July of last season, Gerrit Cole has made 40 consecutive starts with at least five strikeouts. That is the longest active streak in MLB, and double that of the next closest pitcher (Jacob deGrom -- 20).

 Since the All-Star break, David Price has an American League-leading 1.62 ERA (minimum 40 IP). In 11 appearances (9 starts) against Houston, Price has a 2.95 ERA and has averaged 10.55 strikeouts per nine.

 This season, Mookie Betts is slashing .335/.425/.626 and J.D. Martinez is slashing .335/.407/.641. The last pair of qualified AL teammates to produce .330+/.400+/.600+ slash lines in the same season was Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio for the 1937 New York Yankees.
