With a winning percentage of .674, the Houston Astros head into the All Star break as the best team, record wise, in the American League as well as one of two teams that have 60 wins. Many players have been important parts of the success. However, there have been five players in particular that have been integral to where the Astros are today.
Coming off of a 2015 season that was disappointing to many, left-handed starter Dallas Keuchel has proved once again why he is, not only the ace of the Astros’ pitching staff, but one of the best pitchers in the AL.
