Why the next 5 days are vitally important for the Astros
PALLILO POINTS

The Astros got back on track with a win on Sunday, and have the Detroit Tigers coming to Houston for a 4-game series that begins on Monday night.
The Tigers are having a down year, to put it kindly, which presents the Astros with a great opportunity to string together some wins and make up some ground on the Yankees.
ESPN 97.5's Charlie Pallilo shares his thoughts on how this week is extremely important for the Astros.
In this episode, we break down the decision to bring rookie Cam Smith up to the Houston Astros big league roster — just 96 plate appearances into his major league journey.
Was it the right call, or a move made out of desperation due to the early-season outfield situation? We dive into the context of the Kyle Tucker trade, the uncertainty surrounding the outfield to start the year, and whether Cam Smith was truly ready — or if the Astros may have rushed a top prospect before he was fully developed.
