Yes, the Astros have had their share of struggles in May, but it hasn’t been against mediocre teams, its been against some of the most prominent organizations in the AL. Against teams that when the regular season ends, the only ”W’s” which will matter, are the ones in October, and not in April, May, or June.
This series is the beginning of a stretch of games the Astros have needed. In the next month and a half, the Astros will play only one team with a winning record over 39 games. It is the stomping grounds the Astros need, which could help get all aspects of the team back into a complete rhythm and consistency which has dramatically been missed over the past few weeks.
