How to watch Astros games

The TV channel for the next Astros game has not been confirmed. National networks usually announce their picks a few days out, and in the postseason MLB often sets the Astros channel only when the previous round ends. This Astros page refreshes every morning, so the channel shows up here once it is listed.

The Astros season in numbers

Record

Division

1 of 5

Run diff.

-32

Expected wins

78

Home

39-42

Road

42-39

The Houston Astros put 734 runs on the board and gave up 766, a run differential of -32. That works out to 4.53 runs scored and 4.73 allowed per game, against a league average of 4.48 for each side. Based on those runs, a typical team would have won about 78 games, so the Astros finished 3 wins above that mark. That is close enough to say the Astros record reflects how well they actually played.

Split by venue, the Astros posted 39-42 at home and 42-39 on the road. Unusually, the Astros won more games away from home than at Daikin Park. Against left-handed starters they were 16-25, against right-handers 65-56, and they closed the regular season 5-5 over the last ten games, ending on a 2-game winning streak.

Recent form: the last 10 games

In their last 10 regular-season games the Astros went 5-5, scoring 5.9 and allowing 3.7 runs per game. 6 of those 10 games finished above 9 total runs, 2 were decided by a single run, and the widest margin was 13-2 away at ATH. The chart plots each of those Astros games, runs scored above the line and runs allowed below it.

The Astros in the first inning

46.9% of Astros games ended the first inning scoreless, compared with 49.4% across the league. The Astros scored in the first inning 34% of the time and allowed a first-inning run in 29.6% of games. That is close to the league norm. The NRFI Lab puts the Astros next to every other team and starter on the same split.

How to read the Astros numbers

For anyone pricing a Astros game: the run differential and expected wins say more about team quality than the raw record, the home and road split shows how much Daikin Park helps, and the last-ten totals show whether recent Astros games have run high or low. For Astros totals, the over/under guide explains the market step by step, and the odds calculator turns any price into an implied probability. None of these Astros figures predicts a single game, and no bet is ever a sure thing.

Daikin Park, home of the Astros

The Houston Astros play their home games at Daikin Park in Houston, TX, a ballpark with a retractable roof, at an elevation of 45 feet. Games there averaged 8.88 total runs, an index of 0.99 against the league average, close to neutral. When the Daikin Park roof is open, wind and temperature come back into play. The ballpark scoring page ranks all 30 parks.
