The Houston Astros will be facing the Angels in Monterrey, Mexico this weekend. They will have a rare Friday off as they travel and rest up for the two-game series. After this series wraps up tomorrow morning, they would have played 14 straight games without an off day. Friday will be a welcome sight for the first place Astros.
As the MLB tries to market its product outside of the country, the Astros will look to gain a few new fans. Under the new rules, the Astros are allowed to carry a 26th player for this series.
