For the most part, the Astros’ opening series against the Angels went smoothly. Houston secured a series win, which is always great, but they also did so in a relatively impressive fashion by outscoring Los Angeles by 10 runs across four games. Not a shabby start to the season.
Players from the up-and-down this roster contributed to this series win. However, below are three specific observations I had from the season’s first four games.
Observation No. 1 - Jeremy Peña
There probably isn’t a player in Major League Baseball with bigger shoes to fill than Jeremy Peña, who is following in the steps of Carlos Correa as the primary shortstop for the Astros.
