The Houston Astros record for wins in a season is 102, achieved back in 1998. This past season the local nine finished just shy of that, amassing 101 wins on the year.
The Major League Baseball record for most wins in a season is 116, done twice, most recently by the 2001 Seattle Mariners. That Mariners team had future Hall of Famers Ichiro Suzuki, Edgar Martinez and all-stars Bret Boone and Mike Cameron.
The 2018 Houston Astros can be even better than that 2001 Mariners squad. This roster is loaded with young and hungry talent, mixed in with some veteran presence and looking to go back to back.
