Astros Tickets For Upcoming Homestand Averaging Under $70 On Resale Market

The Houston Astros (29-17) have been the biggest surprise in baseball. To date, Houston boasts a 5.5 game lead over the Los Angeles Angels in the American League West division.  which is the largest divisional lead among each of the six division leaders.  Only 25 percent of games have been played thus far, so Houston has a long way to go if it wants to secure its first division title since 2001.  Houston’s hot start is attributable to the play of its leadoff hitter and reigning American League batting champion, Jose Altuve.  Altuve boasts team highs in hits (55), stolen bases (14), and batting average (.299).  As a team, Houston has clubbed a league-high 65 home runs.  Luis Valbuena has hit a team-high 10 home runs while Evan Gattis follows with nine and Colby Rasmus has hit eight .  In 10 starts, Dallas Keuchel has cemented his status as Houston’s top pitcher. Keuchel (6-1, 1.98 ERA) isn’t a strikeout pitcher, but his ability to keep hitters off-balance has been elite.
