Astros record on Friday, June 16, before the latest round of interleague play: 35-32, 5 games out of first in the NL Central, and 2.5 games out of the WC.
The Astros go 5-10 against the Royals, Twins, White Sox, Tigers, and Rangers. As of today, they are 40-42, still only 5 games out of first in the NL Central, and 4 games out of the WC. That there exemplifies why the Astros still have an excellent chance of doing well this season. I just hope the Astros get on a tear before the 3rdnals and Reds do.
