00:00the m's took the opening two games on friday and saturday the astros avoid the sweep on the road

00:05yesterday pasting the m's 11 to 3 the astros still maintain four game lead now post all-star break

00:15in the american league west but with some good for the astros in avoiding the sweep and scratching

00:20across a win yesterday some bad their all-star third baseman in isok paredes now placed on the

00:2710-day il due to a hamstring strain drs you and i spent a length of time during the all-star break

00:34last week across the bigs saying if you're looking for value in either the american league pennant

00:39prices or those world series odds probably on houston at a 10 to 1 number because they were

00:44getting healthier especially offensively with the expected return soon of yordan alvarez you never

00:50want to see an injury even if it's just the 10-day il in the immediate series post all-star break

00:56yeah by the way you also take a look at their final score you love to see the houston astros

01:00plating 11 runs but how about this losing the first two games of the series out of the break and getting

01:04down three to nothing to seattle right off they actually rally back and obviously score 11 straight

01:10runs here to knock off the mariners but here's also you know the paredes will be down for quite some

01:14time gonna be longer than 10 days i would assume need alvarez back in that lineup but also hunter brown

01:19that one-two punch with frambor valdez and i talked about getting christian javier back hopefully

01:23sooner than later that's three straight bad starts for hunter brown which was the era leader

01:27in major league baseball not just a few with just a few what short weeks ago meaning just before the

01:32all-star break hopefully he can get that in gear so even when your ace doesn't have it in a game he

01:36must be the stopper it's nice that your offense bailed you out so you at least could salvage one of

01:40those games because i'll tell you right now you don't want to come out of the break with the team

01:44that's the seattle marines who you can absolutely bury but you can give them life by getting swept so at

01:48least the houston astros pulled that final game out and can steer clear four games ahead

01:52of the mariners as they get out of town
