All the way back on June 7, the Houston Astros began a stretch of 36 games against teams that owned records below the .500 mark. At this point in the season, the club found themselves in a very weird spot, as they were actually trailing the Seattle Mariners in the AL West division by one game. The bottom line was back on June 7, the Astros knew that they were going to need to focus in for the long haul and do what they are supposed to do: beat up the bad teams in the American League.
So far through 26 games in that 36-game run, the Astros hold a record of 20-6, good for a 76.
