We need to play the Rangers fast so that we can move up in the standings. McCullers is due for @$@#$@$

So far the season looks like Liam Neeson's doll collection. It's a mixed bag. And We are all a little freaked out.
I'm not sure if Anaheim will stay healthy. I like Houston's depth more than theirs. I'm unsure who will have the better record between Anaheim and Oakland. If the Astros are relatively healthy, they will win the division. I like this team. Not as much as 2017-2019, but still should win about 90. I'll feel a lot more comfortable if the Astros can get a 8-win lead in the division (or at this point even just the lead). Losing a game that is the spot for a major league pitcher sent to the alternate site while complaining about not having enough healthy pitchers seems like poetic justice not in our favor.
So, want to guess whether: a) MLB will force multiple quarantines for contact tracing, and b) MLB will force the Astros to play anyway instead of postponing like they have for every other team? I hope I’m wrong, but it feels ominous.
