Houston Astros vs Colorado Rockies — Tra 7, 2026 | AI predviđanje i statistike

The late scratch of ace Hunter Brown forces Houston into a modified rotation, but the Astros’ depth softens the blow. Expect a tandem start: four solid innings from Ryan Weiss on regular rest, then two-plus from the power relievers Abreu and King before the back-end trio of Okert, Teng and Pressly (if activated) finish it off. Even without Brown, that group matches up well against a Colorado lineup that has struggled to string hits together and is striking out more than nine times per game. Ryan Feltner owns the platoon edge against Houston’s right-handed core, yet his heavy fastball/slider mix tends to ride up in the zone—dangerous at altitude against Alvarez, Walker and Cam Smith, all of whom are barreling the ball early. Look for Feltner to survive two trips through the order before the thin Rockies bullpen takes over; that’s where Houston’s disciplined approach will tack on insurance runs. Key matchup swings the game: Altuve leading off in Coors with his .460 OBP sets the table, and Alvarez’s left-handed power neutralizes any advantage the spacious outfield provides. Colorado’s best counterpunch comes in the middle frames when TJ Rumfield and Ezequiel Tovar catch Weiss the third time through and greet Abreu’s occasional wildness for a brief two-run surge. Ultimately, Houston’s offensive depth (league-leading 7.0 runs per game) and superior run-prevention unit carry the day, while Colorado’s minus-4 run differential and shaky late-inning relief keep them from a full comeback. Final score: Astros 7, Rockies 4.
