The Astros will travel across the border to face off with the Blue Jays. The Jays have won 12 of the last 17 matchups in Toronto dating back to 2013, their highest winning percentage against any single AL team.

The Astros have seen consistency and durability from their starting pitchers, with three of the top five AL pitchers in terms of innings pitched this season (Verlander, Keuchel, Cole). They could become the first team since the 1970 Orioles with three players in the AL top five in innings pitched.

The Blue Jays split their last series with Tampa Bay putting up only five runs in the two losses and 14 in the two wins. They haven't won a series at home since August 24-26 against the Phillies.

Josh Reddick has a .606 career slugging percentage against the Blue Jays, second-highest mark by any player against the Jays (Michael Brantley - .612; min. 175 PA). Reddick has recorded a hit in eight consecutive games against Toronto, tied for the second-longest active streak in MLB (Elvis Andrus - 14).

Among qualified batters, Kevin Pillar currently leads the Blue Jays with a .249 batting average. Since the mound was lowered in 1969, that would rank as the fourth-lowest batting average by a team leader in the American League and the lowest by a Blue Jay since John Mayberry in 1981 (.248).

Since being called up on September 5, Rowdy Tellez has posted a slash line of .373/.385/.725 with 12 RBI and 12 extra-base hits. He leads all rookies in batting average, slugging percentage and OPS in the month of September (minimum 50 plate appearances).

HP - Danley, 1B - Estabrook, 2B - Dreckman, 3B - Fairchild
