I haven't been following baseball closely, so I ask, is Satan imploding?

Or just going through a rough patch? Also, I have trouble believing Houston is for real, but damn, one month until the All Star game and I think they're still at .650.

PS: I stil don't like them on the American League!

They broke my heart too many times. But for their fans I hope they go all the way.

but they made me look a bit silly. Turns out I was only a little premature, or so it looks at this point anyway. They have a solid lineup. Keuchel has returned to form. McCullers has looked sharp (both guys are out with injuries but due back soon). Fiers has seemed to turn a corner over his past four or five starts.

Steady bats from Altuve, Correa and Springer. Veteran additions Beltran and McCann have contributed nicely. Josh Reddick has been another good acquisition. Marwin Gonzalez has emerged. Gattis still carries a heavy stick.

The bullpen has been at least average.

There's a lot to like!

If they keep playing this way then I think either could win it all
