Astros' Dynamic Offense Needs Pitching Help

The Houston Astros boast the league's best offense, led by Yordan Alvarez and Jose Altuve, but their struggling pitching staff has a 5.75 ERA.

The Houston Astros boast the league's best offense, led by Yordan Alvarez and Jose Altuve, but their struggling pitching staff has a 5.75 ERA.

Through the first 11 games, Houston's lineup has dominated with a .394 on-base percentage and a league-leading 111 hits. However, the team has lost two straight games as the pitching staff has surrendered 32 runs in their last four outings. To stay in the pennant chase, the pitching unit must step up to support the dynamic offense.
