You’re probably familiar by now with the struggles the Astros have faced so far in 2024, but let’s recap: they have already been swept four times this season, by the Yankees, Royals, Braves, and Cubs. However, when they’re not getting swept, the Astros have actually won their five other series, and split one against Texas, who they’ve already played twice this season. Oh yeah, also they have a no-hitter on the books despite the rotation suffering a rash of injuries. The Astros have really turned it on of late, though; they’ve gotten some key pieces to their rotation back, and are winners of four of their last five, bolstered largely by trouncing the hapless Rockies in Mexico City, but they also took a series from the division-leading Guardians.
