The Houston Astros have the best record in baseball, a ridiculous 31-16. They have been doing it with a beautifully balanced attack; an offensive onslaught that rivals that of the 1927 Bronx Bombers, pitching that is second in the AL in ERA, and an AL leading defense as measured by Defensive Runs Saved. That is how a team gets two 10 game winning streaks before June. If one aspect of the game lets the team down on any given day, the other two are still there to pick the team up.
Today two of the three legs failed the Astros, and yet they were just one run, and one clutch hit, from sweeping the Red Sox in Fenway Park against Chris Sale, a rare feat indeed.
