OVER THE TOP!
How Astros surging offense could be primed to explode at just the right time
The Houston Astros appear to be getting back on track when it comes to their offensive production. They've been pretty average for most of the season, but they now find themselves in the Top 10 in slugging, OPS, and home runs.
And don't look now, but Michael Brantley is expected to return to the lineup in the next couple of days, and Jose Altuve hit for the cycle on Monday night against Boston.
With that in mind, what should we expect from the Astros lineup moving forward? Also, where will Brantley hit in the lineup? We doubt Dusty will move Bregman out of the number two spot with him hitting so well recently. So we have to think Brantley will likely hit sixth, with a right-handed bat sliding in at number five after Kyle Tucker.
But with Dusty calling the shots, who really knows?
