The Rays faced the Miami Marlins in the Sunshine Series over the weekend to wrap up a six-game road trip. They dropped two of the three games after winning two of the three against the Toronto Blue Jays during the week. In total the Rays have alternated wins and losses in each of their last eight games.

Houston played a four-game series over the weekend, taking on the Texas Rangers, and split that series evenly. The Astros have won seven of their last 11 games overall.

This will be the first meeting of the year between the Astros and Rays. Last year, Houston won the season series 4-2, including going 3-0 in Tampa (at Tropicana Park). Going a little further back, these teams had a couple of playoff matchups a few years ago – the Astros won the ALDS in 2019, then the Rays came back the next year and won the ALCS.
