Astros in fight for AL West title
After a dismal beginning to the season, the Astros are getting ready for another exciting run toward the playoffs in September. They owe much of it to a strong rotation that is led by ace Frambler Valdez. The Astros were in first place in the American League West with a 4 ½-game lead over second-place Seattle as of Sunday. After an off day on Monday, the Astros are now in the beginning of playing 16 games in a row with a chance to lock up the divisional title ahead of next month’s playoffs.
