Updates on xWins, Projected Standings, Who's Hot/Not + Rando Stats

At least twice this season the Astros have lost games it felt like they should have won.

I tell my son, “We always remember the games the Astros lost that they “should” have won, but we never remember the games they won that they “should” have lost.

Yesterday was one of those games.

Do they even out? I don’t know, but I guess it depends on how good your team is over the course of a season.

xWins, Projected and Should Be AL West Standings

What a great series in Arlington. Games don’t have to be 12-11 to be exciting.

While the Astros were splitting with the Rangers, the Mariners were sweeping the Padres and the Angels were sweeping the Dodgers.

All of a sudden the AL West is no laughing matter.
