In a rematch of the 2021 World Series, the Houston Astros will begin a three-game weekend series Friday when they visit the red-hot Atlanta Braves.
Atlanta opens the series and a seven-game homestand by coming off a loss. Before Wednesday’s 1-0 defeat in the finale of a road series at San Diego, however, the Braves had reeled off eight straight wins.
