Houston Astros
The Houston Astros have faced unexpected disappointment this baseball season, with Justin Verlander struggling on the mound despite his Hall of Fame caliber skills. Verlander has allowed 11 runs in 22.1 innings pitched, with opponents making hard contact and easily driving in runs against him. However, the lineup has shown strength, with players like Kyle Tucker and Jose Altuve providing power at the plate. The team is scoring an average of 4.39 runs per game, with a power ranking of 20 and ranking 15th in offense but 27th in defense. With a record of 14-25, the Astros may face difficult roster decisions if they cannot turn their season around.
