Three numbers and the Astros’ Sunday pitching woes

When you combine an injury depleted starting rotation with a taxed bullpen, the results are not usually kind. Yesterday was prime example as such for the Astros.

86.5% win expectancy

At one point during the game, the Astros win expectancy was 86.5%. A single by Jose Altuve just drove in George Springer to make the score 6-to-3, and Houston looked prime to overcome a rough first three innings by David Paulino.

Well, you can't win them all. But the starting rotation remains a concern to me.
