Three numbers and the Astros bullpen saves the day

Thanks to a 6-and-1 road trip through Oakland and Seattle, the Astros find themselves in an enviable position as the month of July approaches.

If I can be completely transparent for a moment, I wasn’t expecting the Astros to enter the final week of June with a 52-25 record. In case you haven’t noticed, this is also the best record in baseball, which is another shock to my system.

No, I was instead expecting a respectable record of 45 or so wins. I think we can all agree that this was a reasonable expectation. And that was with a healthy starting rotation.
