The wind of momentum is with the Houston Astros right now, and they’re sailing very well through the May baseball season.
The Astros come in this week arguably the hottest team in baseball, with perhaps the exception of the Chicago White Sox. The Astros have won 11 of their last 16 games, went 8-2 on a 10-game homestand, and go on the road winners of 6 straight games.
The Astros now see themselves 0.5 game out of first place in the AL West as they go visit the Oakland A’s in the Coliseum this week before coming back to Texas to play the JV Texas Rangers in Arlington.
