Astros News
The Houston Astros face a daunting uphill battle as they sit at a dismal 16-25 record, but a weak AL West offers a glimmer of hope. After a 0-5 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, the Astros need to capitalize on the upcoming series against the Seattle Mariners, with Peter Lambert taking the mound sporting a solid 2.42 ERA. Adding fuel to the situation is the recent acquisition of a lefty hitting outfielder from the Mariners, which might help, though the impact remains uncertain. With Carlos Correa out for the season after surgery on his left ankle, the Astros must rally their remaining talent, including Yordan Alvarez who’s hitting .318, to stave off any further decline. The cavalry may eventually return from the IL, but until then, Houston needs to stay competitive in this lackluster division.
