Yet are +2300 to win the World Series. You can take them on FanDuel with a cash out option. They’ve scored the most runs in the MLB and have allowed the 3rd fewest..hmm

Damn I would totally put a little future on them on fan duel and then cash out in the playoffs. Stupid Texas

definitely playing well. Jonah Heim has blossomed at catcher. Having an all star 1st half .

enjoy the ride.

Doesn't really matter when the Astros crush their dreams once again and win the division.

The Astros and Rangers both look like playoff teams to me.

Their run diff was eye opening when I scanned the standings yesterday. It's impressive.

But we're a little past the quarter pole, they have played amazingly well, and still only have a 2 game lead against the defending Champs who have not played very well. It's a good value bet, admittedly. But it's still early.

A 3 game lead. The Rangers would be running away with it if their bullpen hadn’t shite on many many leads this year. They’ve pitched better of late but have definitely been the weak spot for the Rangers.

Everything about this team is rounding into form now… and the best part is they won’t be blistering in the Texas heat come August and September.

You right

If Altuve wasn't out for 2 months? If 3 Astros SP's weren't on the IL? If Brantley, Montero, and Abbreu were worth their contracts?

We can all consider the "ifs". They don't matter though.

I can’t wait to see the Ranger melt when the Astros win the division again. Ranger fans are getting very cocky as of late. Got Ranger friends of mine saying they’re going to win the WS and stuff like that. Yeah, maybe if the season ended in June y’all would have a chance.

I dont think the wild cards are coming from the central, so there will be 5 spots for (what's looking like) 5 teams, right? Hou, Texas, Tampa, NY, and Balt. Did I do that right?

I think TX gets there.

Seager and DeGrom have both missed significant time and we still have the 2nd best record in MLB.

You are what your record is. Your hypothetical scenarios are stupid. Everyone has dealt with significant injury

Someone started a thread on the Rangers and it got filled to the gills with Astros fans trying to start a circle jerk.

The favor will be returned in September. Enjoy the fun while y'all still can.
