CLEVELAND -- The floor was soaked and the air had that, uh, effervescent stench of victory, and let's just say Alex Bregman was in a talkative mood.
"To be honest with you," Bregman said, assessing these 2018 Astros, "[Jose] Altuve goes down, [George] Springer goes down and [Carlos] Correa goes down, and we win 103 games. If those three don't go down and play a full season, you're looking at the most wins in the history of the game. We're going to be honest. You are."
