Things for the Houston Astros bullpen has been absolutely horrendous. We have tremendous faith in our two aces in Justin Verlander and Dallas Keuchel but outside of that, things get dicey. Now mind you, Lance McCullers Jr. and Collin McHugh have done some amazing work in relief. But Brad Peacock and Charlie Morton‘s performances have been mixed at best.
A lot of the aforementioned names have limited experience in the playoffs, notwithstanding that the last time Morton pitched in high-pressure situation was when he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NLDS back in 2013.
