Im with you. I just think this is one of the teams we would prefer to not see if they come out of the wild card round. They could still make the wild card round and have good playoff experience. We would definitely be the favorites and should win. I agree with you. Id just prefer we dont see them if possible
Doug Henry, Charlie Kerfeld, Jay Powell, Mike Jackson, Dan Micelli, Dave Smith, Scott Elarton, Joe Sambito, Billy Wagner
Who cares? Dodgers also weren't missing four starters in their rotation and Cody Bellinger is going to continue his insane HR pace.
Didn't we recently rock Betances? Sonny Gray? And funny you mention the Darvish start where we scored one run versus the other one where he gave up three runs and last five innings. Who's destroyed Keuchel this year? You realize he'll be the one matching up with these guys you name.
Actually, team with the best record overall gets home field in World Series. Although, the way the Astros generally play on the road, no big deal.
What about when they beat Darvish? Or yesterday, when they obliterated Sanchez? The Astros have done great against good pitchers this year. In the last week alone, they've beaten Sanchez, Severino, Betances, and Holcomb.
