With leaders a game > .500, no one is lighting it up in this division. This one will likely be decided in mid to late Sept. All of these teams have enough questions, concerns around timely and consistent hitting and getting good starting and relief pitching throughout season.

It's amazing... I think the Stros are leading MLB in hits... just goes to show you how critical pitching is. Leading the league in hits but dead in the middle of the pack in runs scored. With the Astros starting pitching staff in shambles and bullpen depth thin this year, the Astros need to win with offense till they get healthy. I hope Espada proves me wrong but he appears to be in over his head so far. At any rate he is not getting close to league average run production for the numbers of Astros hitters reaching base.

JP France gave up 5 runs in the first inning, again. I went to a day game last year, the first game I went to in 15+ years, he gave up 10 runs in 2.1 innings. They lost 17-1 against the Red Sox.

Abreau moved to IL, with .099 batting average for the season. Bringing up rookie from AAA, it can only improve the lineup.
Astros string together 2 wins over the weekend.

I read that they owe Abreu ~ $35 million over the next two seasons.

Ended up Seattle 5-4. High dollar reliever blows another save opportunity. One win out of 3 this series. Travel to NY, Yankees series starts Tuesday.

I thought they were starting to get it together, but maybe not. Hader ain't fooling anyone. Any MLBer can hit 96 middle middle and hitters know it's coming. Heck, he might even be tipping his pitches... who knows...
