TEXANS TAKE
The Texans sent shock waves through the NFL over the weekend when they traded away Jadeveon Clowney to the Seahawks and brought in Laremy Tunsil and Kenny Stills from the Dolphins.
Many fans and media members felt that the Texans overpaid in their trade with the Dolphins, and didn't get enough in return for Clowney.
ESPN 97.5's Raheel Ramzanali weighs in the Texans' moves, and explains what caused Bill O'Brien to act with such desperation.
The Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals meet Monday night at Busch Stadium, both aiming to get above .500 in the early weeks of the season.
Houston (7-8) sends left-hander Framber Valdez (1-1, 2.50 ERA) to the mound in search of a strong start to begin a three-game road series. The Astros, 3-3 away from home this season, have leaned on their pitching—ranking eighth in the American League with a 3.70 team ERA.
St. Louis (7-8) counters with right-hander Sonny Gray (2-0, 4.50 ERA), who has a WHIP of 0.88 despite some early bumps in run prevention. The Cardinals have been solid at home (6-3) and are among the NL’s best-hitting teams, posting a collective .280 average.
Jose Altuve (.302, 3 HR) and Isaac Paredes (13-for-42, 3 HR in last 10) lead the way for Houston’s offense, while Brendan Donovan (.350, 10 RBI) and Pedro Pages (10-for-34, 7 RBI in last 10) have been producing for the Cardinals.
Both teams enter the matchup with identical 7-8 records but differing trends: Houston has outscored opponents by eight runs over their last 10 games (5-5), while the Cardinals have gone 4-6 during that stretch, giving up 5.19 runs per game.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. ET.
