BOTTOM LINE: The Houston Astros will try to keep their nine-game home win streak alive when they take on the Chicago Cubs. Houston is 49-33 overall and 31-13 at home. Astros pitchers have a collective 3.42 ERA, which ranks fourth in the majors.

Astros Announce Jeremy Peña News After Leaving Cubs Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Houston Astros found a gem in the third round of the 2018 MLB Draft. That player was shortstop Jeremy Peña, who worked his way up the minors and won the starting job after Carlos Correa's departure in 2022.

It was a homecoming of sorts for Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly, as the Cubs are in town to play the Astros in a three-game weekend series. This series has long been circled on my calendar, primarily due to the offseason trades to send Tucker and Pressly to Chicago.
