The Houston Astros look really good and their pitchers lead MLB in strikeouts. But their starting pitchers have given up a fair number of runs lately.

[3bside]

We're now only one game behind Houston in W-L.  Although we won't be catching the Dodgers for home field in the NLCS, we actually have a decent chance of getting home field if we make the World Series.
