Let’s examine who carried the Astros in 2021 and what the state of the organization looks like going forward.
After the Houston Astros won Game 5, the World Series returned to Houston for at least one more game. Max Fried shut down the Houston bats and the Braves offense came alive to three homers on their way to a 7-0 clinching game.
Once a team vying a World Series title every year, the Rangers have been stuck teetering between trying to compete and embracing a rebuild. This year was a step in the right direction despite winning just 60 games and missing the playoffs.
The Atlanta Braves will meet the Houston Astros in the 117th World Series. Three of our top baseball writers give their keys to victory and drop their predictions.
The Astros take the series 3-1 in pretty convincing fashion. It is on to the ALCS to face the surprising Red Sox but first, let’s take a look back on the series with the White Sox.
Jordan Lawlar is the top prep bat in the 2021 draft class. The shortstop has climbed his way up draft boards and some mocks even have him going first overall to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lawlar has all the tools at a premium position to become a star in the big leagues one day.
After giving you some arms, bats, and stacks for the early slate, I am back for more! For the main slate, I will give some studs and value plays. The main slate is seven games and has a lot of good options.
At the beginning of the 2020 season, the Houston Astros expected to win their fourth-straight American League West crown. However, a myriad of injuries saw them limp into the postseason (barely) with a 29-31 regular-season record. When the playoffs began, the baseball world was ready to throw dirt on them and bury their scandalous year for good.
Many baseball fans did not expect that the Astros would be four victories away from the World Series in 2020. Particularly not back when the media was buzzing around them in West Palm Beach during Spring Training in February. And yet, they are now a series win away from their third World Series appearance in four years.
While both series on the National League side ended in sweeps, the American League side has been a bit more competitive. Let’s take a look at how we got to the best-of-seven Championship Series with four teams left looking to punch their tickets to the World Series.
All division series are in full swing with games each and every day, and it has been fun so far. Although it was nice to see some amazing pitching in the first round, the abundance of baseballs clearing the fences is a welcome sight. Will the trend continue?
The Houston Astros will have huge targets on their backs in 2020, writes Glenn Kaplan.
