Under.

But definitely capable of .500 or slightly better.

This team has 2017 WS written all over it, if some smart GM decisions are made with free agents.

I'm not denying they've been lucky, and I'm not even expecting playoffs....I'm just laughing at what lengths you go to argue your points.

Guess the A's better start winning the games that the Astros are winning And outperforming.

He has 15 errors in 40 games just FYI. One of the reasons they have been bad so far this year.

Houston has been lucky to be #1 in defensive efficiency. We know only 3-4 players BA wins games.

That's the part I don't get. You can point to several poor performers to start the year and say they've won more games than they should have. But to expect a huge regression in winning % would seem to imply there are a bunch of people playing over their heads and that just simply isn't the case. At some point they'll start losing some games they should have been losing all along. But it will at least be partially offset by better play.

Not to mention Tucker has been upgrade to the lineup since coming up, Correa will be an upgrade over what they have at SS when he comes up in June, and Lowrie should hopefully return around late July early August

leads AL SS in WAR, HR, OPS, and 2nd in RBI. His defense isnt good but im pretty sure he's on pace to be an all star.

I think the offense is right where it's going to be for a team that relies so much on HR's. When it's going good, its going good. But it's hard to keep up consistently, as shown by the slow start.

You can win 10games in a row if you ride the perfect storm. Or you can have some big skids, like they have had twice this year. It will even out and this team at best might be .500


Just a few weeks ago all of yall were cursing the same players. I know as fans it's hard to remember the bad spots, but geez.

You are what your record says you are. That's a first place team with reinforcements on the way.

Springer and Gattis have extremely low BABIP. i read if they stay where they are now, which is highly doubtful, they'll both have the lowest BABIP since 1871. Both those guys will hit better.

Carter sucks. I'm not taking up for that waste of a roster spot.

kris bryant would be the best hitter on the Astros. He's played in 30MLB games
