re: DAT 9/13: Astros (Cole) @ Royals (Duffy), 7:15 CDT

Astros should win it, with the injuries the Yankees have had this season it is honestly surprising they have the best record.

The Astros have the better player at every position but 1B, C and the bullpen (Yankees are ahead in bullpen ERA last I checked) it seems. Maybe LF but Brantley has been remarkable as well so I consider it even.


Consider Severino hasn't started, Betances hasn't pitched, Montgomery hasn't pitched, Stanton has only like 20 AB, Hicks has only played 40 games, Judge missed 2 months, Sanchez missed 1 month, CC has missed a month, Tauchman is out for the season, Andujar has been out for the season, Happ is going on 10 day IL, Holder has been out, Maybin missed time, Urshela has missed time, Torres missed some time.... It is a miracle
