While July was a good month for the Houston Astros’ offense, pitching was a different story. It was an up-and-down month for the starting rotation and the bullpen was not as dominant as it had been earlier in the season. Nevertheless, the Astros still wound up with a 12 W – 12 L record for the month, which is not bad considering they had a six game skid just before the All-Star break.
With that, the usual suspects are in consideration for July’s pitcher of the month: Dallas Keuchel and Lance McCullers Jr.
