RUN IT BACK
Coming into the final month of the season, the Astros were finally starting to sneak into the Top 10 for overall team offense. And after sweeping the Rangers with an offensive explosion, the team is now Top 5 in OPS.
So what's been the difference? Jose Altuve is going bananas at the top of the lineup, and Jeremy Pena and Michael Brantley have made a huge impact as well.
Not to mention what Chas McCormick and Yainer Diaz have done for the team when they get in the lineup.
So what should we expect from the Astros' bats moving forward?
Be sure to watch the video above as we examine how the Astros seemingly have things going at just the right time, and caution how the results from the Rangers series could impact Dusty Baker's future lineups.

The Texans may have to start their third string linebacker this week, Neville Hewitt, if both Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o are unable to play.
Plus, corner Kamari Lassiter is not likely to play in a matchup against several quality Green Bay receivers.
