It will be interesting how a young team handles this expectations. Last year, nobody expect anything from them and they played great. Now, the bullseye will be on their backs and they will be the hunted and not the hunter.

[jpitts36]

They picked Cleveland to win it last year lol

I needed a good laugh

[jjgold]

They do not have a clue

We all guess at everything in sports same as stocks

[TheSideBet]

NL champ definitely will come out of the Central this year. Cubs are due - I know I know.

[INVEGA MAN]

No way

[Harry N. Lloyd]

Sports Illustrated has not picked the correct team to win in something like 30 years.

You know the Astros play in the American League these days, right?

[daneblazer]

Not enough pitching

[stevenash]

^
Plenty of team speed, Gomez, Springer, Altuve, Correa.
Good up the middle defense. (except Castro)
RP is pretty good.
SP - ordinary.

They'll compete for a WC, World Series, I can't see it.

[trobin31]

If memory serves me correctly the biggest issue was relief pitching that killed them in playoffs and I didn't see much upgrades during offseason

Yessir I was just prognosticating like the SI staff.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Astros won't make the playoffs.

[astro61200]

Go Astros!

Actually have a bet with my friend from about 4 or 5 years ago that the Astros would win the WS before the Cubs. Might be the year we finally settle it.

[PorkChop]

He's right about the Astros, but they'll be facing the Cubs.

[daneblazer]

Rotation has been terrible thus far

McCullers will be back soon, wish they'd kept Velasquez.

Okay, someone is injected roids into these Houston players the last year or so. Even Altuve is going to hit 30+ homeruns this year.

[turtlejc]

everyone on this team has gotten better except Gomez...the guy sucks and always has

I saw that prediction 2 years ago, only they had them in 2017. Same magazine.

[opie1988]

How's this looking??

[l7ustin]

Well Astros can't beat the Rangers even once so no way they out them in a playoff series. Maybe someone else could knock out Texas for them, but...yeah
