The Houston Astros are 34-16, the best start in franchise history. They have won the first two games versus the powerful Baltimore Orioles lineup. Last year’s World Series champs, the Chicago Cubs, were 35-15 after 50 games. Everything appears to be going well in Houston right now, except for the nonstop construction on roads.

The Astros also made a bold move (not really) by switching Mike Fiers to the bullpen as the long reliever. Brad Peacock, who finally has started showing the promise of his potential, was moved into the rotation.
