He enjoyed some plus matchups vs. the Rockies and came out of it with one hit in 11 at-bats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, he&#8217;s been hitting the ball significantly better since rejoining the Astros from the Minnesota Twins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And he&#8217;ll enjoy a platoon advantage, which has served him well this season, especially in the power department (.481 SLG vs. LHPs; .373 vs. RHPs). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Correa is batting .319\/.385\/.447 in August. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>His OPS, over 24 games with the Astros, is .831 compared to a .704 mark with the Twins. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Houston gets Los Angeles Angels southpaw Tyler Anderson, who has actually fared much better against right-handed bats but has been dreadful on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anderson has a 5.74 ERA in 12 road starts and has allowed four-plus runs in five of his last seven outings.
