These two teams meet after a couple of excellent regular seasons, though obviously the Astros’ was a cut above the wild card Rays. Still, the Rays will be a tough opponent for the Astros to draw, as one would expect any 96-win team to be. The two teams met for seven games in the regular season with the rays winning the season series at 4-3. 3 of those wins came in the opening series of the regular season where the Astros looked a little sluggish right out of the gate, but the second was a Houston series win in August.
