After taking a step back last year, the Astros are poised to contend for the AL West title on the strength of their young bats. Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa comprise a dynamic middle infield duo, and there is plenty of power with George Springer and Evan Gattis in the heart of the lineup. Newcomers Josh Reddick and Nori Aoki will provide outfield help for Springer.
The rotation should bounce back, starting with Dallas Kuechel after he went from 20 wins and a Cy Young Award in 2015 to nine wins last year. A full season from Charlie Morton, limited to four starts by a torn hamstring, will also help balance out Houston’s starting five. Closer Ken Giles and Luke Gregorson anchor an up-and-coming relief corps.
