The Astros are scheduled to host the Texas Rangers in a three-game series March 25-27 and the Red Sox from March 29-31.<\/p>\n<p>It would mark the third time the Astros and Rangers have met opening day, along with 2013 and 2018. Houston would then play its first road series in Atlanta and Boston.<\/p>\n<p>The Astros are scheduled for four off-days in the first 19 days of the season. They would not play more than nine days in a row until a stretch of 13 in a row from April 30 to May 12.<\/p>\n<p>Their first three-city road trip would occur June 4-13, with series at Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh and Detroit. They have one other Aug. 20-29 at Milwaukee, Chicago and Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers, Red Sox, Guardians, Blue Jays, Yankees and Angels are all scheduled to visit Daikin Park before the end of April. Houston would host the Yankees for a three-game set April 23-25.<\/p>\n<p>The Astros would also visit Yankee Stadium over Fourth of July weekend, for a three-game series July 2-4. They would play at home Memorial Day, against the Mariners, and on the road Labor Day, in St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>National League teams set to visit Daikin Park are the Nationals (May 7-9), Cubs (May 14-16), Reds (July 6-8), Giants (July 9-11), Rockies (July 23-25), Padres (July 30-Aug. 1), Mets (Aug. 17-19) and Phillies (Sept. 17-19).<\/p>\n<p>Houston has two three-series homestands, both after the All-Star break. It would host the Rockies, Tigers and Padres from July 23-Aug. 1, then the Orioles, Twins and Mets from Aug. 10-19.<\/p>\n<p>The Astros are scheduled to finish the season on the road with series against the Athletics and Angels.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, a lockout resulted in MLB postponing opening day from March 31 to April 7, though a full 162-game season was played. There is widespread belief that another lockout could occur when the current collective bargaining agreement between MLB and the MLB Players Association expires on Dec. 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Houston Astros are scheduled to open the 2027 season at home against their in-state rival, provided baseball&#8217;s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":["post-375967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
