2016 Astros Season Preview
The Houston Astros came into last season knowing that their best days were ahead of them, but most believed the team was still a few years away from being a contender in the American League. The Stros came out and proved to everyone that they are here to win today, and were the best team in the AL for much of the season. With a playoff appearance under their belt, the 2016 Houston Astros are back to win it all this season. Dallas Keuchal, or “the Beard,” headlines what may be the best starting pitching staff in the American League. The Astros brought in veteran Doug Fister to sure up the bottom of their rotation, and talented Collin McHugh and Shawn Feldman will help the Astros avoid dipping into what was a shaky bullpen a season ago. Defensive stars Jose Altuve and Carlos Gomez are some of the rising talents in the game, and should continue to grow into top stars in the AL West. The ceiling on the Astros in 2016 is as high as any team in the American League, and this could be the year Houston gets its World Series titles. 2016 Houston Astros tickets at Minute Maid Park could continue to rise in demand and price as the season goes on.
