Houston Astros
The 2024 season has been a challenging one for the Houston Astros, who are currently tied for last place in the AL West. Their struggles have been particularly evident in their pitching, as they rank 26th in team ERA and have a bottom-10 bullpen in FIP, ERA, and WAR. However, veteran pitcher Justin Verlander has been a standout performer, allowing only four runs in his 17.1 innings pitched. On the offensive side, the Astros are putting up a modest 4.44 runs per game, with solid statistics in batting average, OBP, and slugging percentage. Despite their current power ranking of 18, there is hope that their strong offensive numbers will translate into more wins in the near future.
