Opening Day is Thursday. The first of 162 of the Greatest Games on Earth. For fans like you and me the other 203 days of the year are largely spent in anticipation of those 162 when the Astros play. So bring it on.
The Astros have won 100 or more games in both of the last two seasons, and have been to the play offs in 3 of the last 4. For 2019 it is almost inconceivable that they don’t repeat as AL West champions for the 3rd straight year.
This is the first of several articles in which we break down the 2019 Astros; how they have improved from 2018, how they may have backtracked, and what are their projections.
