The Astros are riding high as they arrive in Charm City, having won 6 games and series in a row now, including two straight sweeps. The offense absolutely shredded opposing pitching during the 5 game homestand, scoring 47 runs in those contests. Pitching has also been on a higher level, making the Astros into one of the most complete teams in baseball at the moment. The team is now 10 games ahead of the second place A’s in the division and really just a couple of weeks of hot play away from putting it out of reach. They’ll have their chance to get a leg up on that during this trip, playing against a couple of bottom feeders in the form of the Orioles and White Sox, before taking on the A’s in Oakland.
