Despite a 103-59 regular season record and a convincing three-game sweep of the Indians in the ALDS, the Astros couldn’t finish the job in 2018. Between missed opportunities, numerous miscues, and questionable calls, Houston couldn’t get back to the Fall Classic. In short, the Red Sox outplayed the Astros this time around, unlike last year’s ALDS. I have a feeling that we’ve haven’t seen the last of Boston in the postseason.
So, where do the Astros go from here?
The core that consists of Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, George Springer, and Alex Bregman returns next year.
