"Atlanta has gone 6-1 in games that Waldrep has pitched for them this season and in the one loss (which was one of the blowouts against Seattle), you could hardly say that this was his fault. The Mariners did most of their damage against Atlanta's bullpen - while Waldrep was out there, he only gave up two hits and two runs while striking out five batters. He did surrender a personal season-high five walks, so there's that."
"The Astros are sitll in a Postseason position but they're certainly in a dogfight at this point, as they haven't had a winning month since June and are already 4-6 here in the month of September. They've dropped three straight series so far and appear to be slowing down - especially now that the Mariners have started to surge and have actually caught them in the standings."
The penultimate homestand of the 2025 season begins with the Braves hosting the Houston Astros, with Atlanta in a spoiler role. Hurston Waldrep gets the start after debuting as an emergency arm; Atlanta is 6-1 in his appearances. In his lone loss he allowed two hits and two runs while striking out five but issued a season-high five walks. The Astros remain in a postseason position but have not had a winning month since June and are 4-6 in September. Houston has dropped three straight series, sits middle-of-the-road statistically, and faces pressure as the Mariners surge.
