The Astros are 3 for 3 in opening day games when George Springer hit a home run. In the previous two years when he hit an opening day home run the Astros ended up winning more than 100 games. Which means that because George hit his third straight opening day home run today against the Rays, the Astros are on the way to their third straight 100 win season.
Conversely, on the only occasion last year when the Tampa Bay Rays’ Cy young winning pitcher Blake Snell got Shnelled for three home runs in a game, the Rays lost the game.
