The Astros (43-28, t-1st in AL West) take the show on the road starting with three against the Orioles (23-48, 5th in AL East)
Quick NotesThe Astros head to Baltimore to face one of the worst teams in the sport, a distinction that the Orioles have held for several years now. Already in the midst of yet another lost season, Baltimore is 19.5 games back from the first place Red Sox, which might as well be a million with how poorly the O’s have...

As it turns out, betting against a premier talent isn’t smart.
The Astros seemed to make a calculated decision three months ago when the club did not make a serious attempt to extend Carlos Correa. Whatever the top brass’s reasoning was at the time, they were ostensibly content with letting their All-Star shortstop walk next winter if he did not sign an extremely team-friendly contract.
Now, owner Jim Crane and general manager James Click are at...

The Astros are in 1st place by .003 percentage points, which is good enough for me to laugh and point at A’s fans

On Father’s Day, the Astros proved to be the White Sox’s daddy.
We dare you to name the hottest team in baseball. What? Did you just say the Astros? HECK, YEAH! The ‘Stros’ offense came alive once again on Father’s Day, this time to beat the White Sox 8-2 and seal a four-game series sweep in Minute Maid Park. This was Houston’s seventh consecutive victory, enough to tie the Oakland Athletics in the AL West first place!
Just like in two of the...

Dylan Floro, Yimi García, Richard Bleier, and John Curtiss are attractive pieces that would address Houston’s needs.
The Astros desperately need bullpen help. Right now, the reliever staff is their biggest weakness heading into the season’s half, and even though they’re hot right now with a six-game winning streak, things get tougher as the regular campaign goes on. On the other side, in the National League, the Marlins might be in a position to...
A left quad strain sent Alex Bregman to the 10-day injured list on Thursday, but the Astros star isn’t yet sure exactly when he’ll be back on the field.

The Astros are now 42-28 and have won 15 of their last 19 games.
Framber did it again! On Saturday night, the Astros captured their sixth consecutive win as they defeated the White Sox on a 7-3 score, thanks in part to another wonderful performance by Valdez. Offensively, Robel García impersonated absent Alex Bregman with a key, bases-clearing hit in the third inning to cap a rally of four runs.

Lance Lynn faces Astros ace Framber Valdez.
Happy Juneteenth.
Last night was a pitching duel that ended in a walk-off 2-1 win for the Astros. Tonight promises to be another pitcher’s duel, as Lance Lynn, ERA 1.51, faces Framber Valdez, ERA 1.42.
The A’s lost today to the Yankees, 7-5. With a win today the Astros will be only one game behind the A’s.

RBI double in bottom of the ninth brings home second win against the White Sox.
One prominent sports outlet predicted that the red-hot Astros would figure out Carlos Rodon, perhaps the best pitcher in the AL.
They were wrong.
The Astros could barely touch him. He gave up only three hits in seven innings, and the one run the Astros scored Rodon uncharacteristically walked in.
But the White Sox could do little better themselves against rookie Astros starter Luis...

Three homers last night and nine in the last two games.
The Astros took out yet another can of whup-ass on an AL opponent, tonight battering the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox 10-2. Although only getting eight hits, the big blows were three long-balls, one each courtesy of Jose Altuve, Michael Brantley, and Abraham Toro, replacing the injured Alex Bregman.
Meanwhile, Jose Urquidy was sharp yet again, limiting the Sox to two runs in seven innings,...
