Corbin Burnes, the Brewers' starting pitcher, is coming off a performance where he faced some difficulties. He allowed three earned runs, eight hits, and a home run in his last outing. What's intriguing is that in his career, he tends to struggle in the start following a game where he allowed one walk or less. Given that he only surrendered one walk in his previous start, there's a chance he may encounter similar challenges this time around.
On the other hand, Cristian Javier of the Astros has displayed consistent performances throughout the season. His reliability on the mound provides a solid foundation for the Astros' pitching efforts.
While the starting pitching matchup seems evenly matched, the key factor that could tip the scales in favor of the Astros is their offensive potential. There is a strong possibility of positive regression for the Astros' bats in the near future. If Burnes encounters command issues as indicated by advanced stats and trends, it could present an opportunity for the Astros to break out and get a victory.
