00:00Houston Astros yesterday take down the Phillies once again two to one Hunter Brown was flat out

00:05absolutely tremendous the lowest ERA in Major League Baseball holds up fresh after two left

00:10handed pitchers which included Frambois Valdez absolutely shut down the Phillies offense the

00:15Phillies scored one run over three games absolutely embarrassing but more likely embarrassing at the

00:20plate they were good on the mound but Houston was really good and that's the focus here Joe

00:24the Houston Astros always that team lying in wait I don't even think they're playing that

00:29great of baseball but still hanging around and all of a sudden you find yourselves 48 and 33 on the

00:34season this team is going over an evolution of players in and out of that lineup over the past

00:39couple years but the one constant thing is Joe they still win games on a consistent basis

00:44wow I mean look look at how they won these three games against Philly right one nothing two nothing

00:50two one that is crazy we're talking about a Phillies team Donnie that didn't give up what

00:58more than five runs in the entire series and lost all three games that is absolutely absurd I mean

01:05Sanchez had what 11 strikeouts gave up a couple of hits yesterday and yet somehow or another uh the

01:12Phillies couldn't score enough to actually get him the win but Houston does it with solid timely uh hitting

01:21good defense and a bullpen that has been lights out and they have a legit ace in Hunter Brown and you

01:28know they got McCullers Jr. back now they've got guys that are showing up and delivering now are they

01:33playing above their head time will tell here not by the way Alvarez due back in that lineup sooner

01:39than later which adds a lot of punch there Isak Paredes who they brought over has done a decent job for

01:44them Jose Altuve ups and downs here you figure he'll get it right here a lot of young talented

01:49players in that lineup finally starting to play well and again the pitching staff which you might not look at

01:54his household names right now but Hunter Brown he's willing to come up for quite some time now one of

01:58the better pitchers in Major League Baseball at the front end of that rotation that's a really good

02:02team to watch out for there in the AL West and if we're talking about the AL West and how you'd like

02:07to bet the Houston Astros taking a look at the West they're a minus 480 price to win it now a monster

02:12favorite you take a look at the AL pennant a plus 420 price World Series dropping lower and lower daily

02:17here to an 11 to 1 price is this a team that you would like to bet on here are you still think like you know

02:22what Donnie I need to see them for a couple more weeks but more importantly what does that front

02:27office do with the trade deadline to bolster that before I make a decision well and you know I think

02:32they they have shown it's an organization that knows how to win on a consistent basis so it would

02:39not shock me at all if they are in this race and they very much are yeah the moves will come they'll do

02:45what they have to do to bolster this team but to get to this point uh be 48 and 33 and not have

02:52your best hitter in the lineup here for how long Donnie I mean that's that's pretty that's pretty

02:57impressive by Houston and here we go again is what a lot of people are saying and a lot of teams are

03:02saying here we go again because who's catching them although don't sleep on the angels because

03:06they're only a game and a half out of the wild card spot right now as well
