I may be just recalling incorrectly here, but I don't recall a lot of 1-8 stretches for the Astros. Maybe in the dog days of 80 years in a row with 100 losses, but not recently right?
August 2017 July and August 2018 June 2019 (lost 9 of 11... in a year they won 107!) And this just a cursory quick glance at results for those years.
