The Astros may be down on their luck, having lost most of their pitching staff to injury and falling down to the bottom of the AL West, but that wouldn’t make it any sweeter to exact a portion of revenge for how thoroughly their playoff meetings went.
With the offense heating up during this streak though, and the pitching still delivering, it sure feels like every day they take the field expecting to win. While we await the finale of this series later in the afternoon, there’s a couple of things to look forward to this morning. Matt goes over the results from around the league last night, including the surprising first managerial change of the season with Alex Cora out in Boston.
Then it’s a double-feature from John, first taking the time to wish the Captain a happy birthday and go over the incredible career that he’s built for himself already before launching into the weekly social media spotlight. Today’s Matchup New York Yankees at Houston Astros Time: 2:10 p. m.
