No Room For Error

As we come into the home stretch of the season the Astros find the cushion they built at the beginning of the season evaporating. They still have an 11 game lead for the AL west title, so it would still take a major collapse for the Astros to miss the playoffs. Still, it is a little disconcerting to see the team struggle with their starting pitching like this. And you always like to have some momentum going into the playoffs. Especially in Baseball it’s not about who has the best record on the season, but who’s hot going into the playoffs.
