The Astros had eight losing streaks of three games or more in 2023. The first of those streaks occurred fairly early in the season, dropping a finale against the White Sox in the opening series followed by losing two games to the Tigers. Naturally, the optics surrounding any three-game skid are never great. No one likes to see their favorite team lose, especially multiple games in a row. But a three-game skid, even to start the season, isn’t the end of the world. That’s the good news for this year’s Astros.
Thankfully, there are still 159 games left in the season, so it isn’t time to panic.
