 The Astros posted a 4.45 team ERA against the Red Sox in the 2018 regular season and a 5.52 team ERA against Boston in the ALCS. The Astros did not have an ERA over 4.00 against any other team in 2018.

 The Astros enter this series on an eight-game winning streak. The only longer winning streak in MLB this season was also accomplished by the Astros (10 from April 5-16).

 Boston has gone 10-3 in May, the second best record in MLB behind only Houston (11-3). The Red Sox .385 team OBP leads MLB in May, while the Astros lead MLB with a .307 batting average this month.

 In the American League, seven players have scored at least 12 runs in May -- six of those seven are in this series: Springer (18), Devers (14), Betts (13), Bogaerts (12), Bregman (12) and Martinez (12).

 Carlos Correa went 2-for-5 last time out and has had multi-hit games in three of his last four. The Astros are 11-1 in his multi-hit games this season; the only player with a better team record in his multi-hit games (minimum 10 multi-hit games) is Nelson Cruz and the Twins (10-0).

 Mookie Betts hit his 200th career double last time out in his 686th career game. The last players to reach 200 doubles in fewer games were Albert Pujols in 2005 (659), Nomar Garciaparra in 2002 (665) and Hank Greenberg in 1938 (604).

HP - Randazzo, 1B - Nelson, 2B - Blaser, 3B - Diaz

Riding an eight-game winning streak, the Houston Astros would enjoy nothing more than extending their latest run with a measure of revenge against the team that eliminated them from the postseason last year.
They'll get the chance starting Friday, as the Astros travel to Boston to take on the Red Sox in a rematch of the 2018 American League Championship Series.

Streaking Astros eye revenge vs. Red Sox

BOSTON (AP)  The Houston Astros patiently waited out Rick Porcello through seven scoreless innings, then pounced when the Red Sox right-hander delivered a pair of mistakes.
Jake Marisnick led off the eighth with a double and George Springer drove the very next pitch from Porcello out for his AL-leading 17th homer as Houston won 3-1 on Friday night.
