Where is this place?

Just like every team in MLB. All teams would love to have their bottom three hitters in lineup to hit better. Duh

Then you are simply stating the obvious about every team, not just Houston.

You got that right!!

Pretty sure every team in the MLB #7-9 hitters don't hit very well. As to why they bat at the bottom of the order. MLB is full of 7-9 hitters batting under .250. Not hard to point that out.

10-0 win for the Astros. 18 hits Arrighetti with 11 K's, no runs and just 2 hits in 7 2/3 innings. Houston remains 3.5 ahead of Seattle

You post your opinion, not facts. Like Pena can't hit but his average is .275, 15 points above the team average and 30th in the AL. There are 114 players in the AL batting worse than Pena. His average is 26 points higher than the AL overall average (.249) I post stats (which are facts).

Astros are 7th in runs scored in AL and currently have the 3rd highest team batting avg. (.260) in all of baseball. Only Padres and Diamondbacks have higher batting average. Also, Houston has the 3rd fewest team strikeouts in all of baseball. Only Padres and Royals have struck out fewer times than the Astros. Now as of late, it's been the hitting with runner on or scoring position that Houston has been poor. That has to get better. Astros pitching is still improving. Now down to a season best team ERA of 3.75. They are also now 2nd in AL in runs allowed. Houston is in the middle of an 18 game schedule where they do not have a day off. This current road trip is a doozy with Baltimore and Philly. If Houston can get the win this afternoon, I actually am ok with them going 3-4 on the road against those two opponents. The goal for Houston is to get to 86-87 wins. Seattle will not get to that number. Astros can go 17-13 the rest of the season and that will most likely win the division. I just don't see Seattle going 21-8 or 20-9 the remainder of the season. Yes the Astros have lost 6 of their last 8 games. But Seattle has only won 3 of their last 8 and just 4 of their last 14 games against lesser opponents (minus the 3 games they had against the Dodgers) MLB currently has Houston as an 88% chance to win the division and 90% chance to make playoffs. But I am not surprised by some comments from the "glass half empty" section.

We have 66 coverage area games for this week. 7 on Thursday, 55 on Friday, 4 on Saturday. Pickem is only 25 games. Like 99 stated, he likes to spread it around and try to get all the teams in at one time during the season. We have 82 total teams in our coverage area. So some weeks there will be some teams not included.

Probably around 5pm

My pregame meals for each game: Thursday Twin Peaks Friday Fannett Seafood Saturday Pappacita's

I agree. Same goes for Jones to United.

So wrong. Most likely the other way around.

#7 Notre Dame at #20 Texas A&M(-3) #14 Clemson at #1 Georgia(-13.5) #13 LSU(-4.5) vs #23 USC Colorado St at #4 Texas(-32.5) #19 Miami(-2.5) at Florida #8 Penn St(-8.5) at West Virginia TCU(-9) at Stanford Lamar at Texas St Those two spreads got me very curious.

I 100% agree. Was just answering the question from the other poster about how many defensive starters returned. Carry on
