    Verlander 66-21 2.33 ERA as an Astro.

    Not sure why we ever thought to bring him back onto this team.

    But here we are. Let's make the most of it.

    I don’t count JV first start as an Astros this year with a AAA lineup against the Yankees on the road.

    No, that's each respective run differential extrapolated over a full 162.

    That's the most punchable face in Washington.

    OK converted into respective expected wins.

    Looks about right.

    Maybe even 79 wins.

    Kinda sad.

    No time to rest on these laurels.

    Texas has Oakland, Toronto has KC. Both could sweep rather easily.

    Seattle has the toughest match-up with Tampa.

    Astros now 3 games clear of making the playoffs in some form or fashion.

    I’ve got a 3 team parley at the beginning of the year that I bet $50 to win 2400 that the AL division winners would be Houston, Minnesota and Tampa. I only made 2 bets- that plus astros 50 to go over 97 wins. I’m rooting hard for tampa to sweep Seattle and us to sweep Baltimore later in the year…

    Not to mention King Tuck went missing. If he was firing we would have racked up NFL scores.
