                • Houston Astros 2026 Betting Preview: Starting Pitching, Bullpen, and Offensive Outlook

                  The Houston Astros had a disappointing 2025 season and their win total is slightly down to 86.5 for 2026.  Dave Ross and Jensen Lewis analyze Houston’s roster, starting rotation, and lineup questions for the upcoming season:

                  • Rotation concerns: Hunter Brown leads, with Mike Burrows and Tatsuya Imai added, but injuries and depth remain a concern.
                  • Bullpen issues: Josh Hader opens on the IL, Bryan Abreu moves to closer, and the rest of the bullpen faces uncertainty.
                  • Offensive questions: With Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman gone, Jose Altuve aging at 36, Carlos Correa dealing with back issues, and Yordan Alvarez hoping for full health, can this lineup generate enough runs?
                  • Division outlook: Seattle remains the class of the AL West, while Texas and Oakland improved in the offseason, creating more competition.
                  • They also discuss betting angles:

                    • Win total under 86.5 feels like an easy play.
                    • Make/miss postseason odds could offer value depending on how you want to position your bets.
                    • MVP & Cy Young considerations: Alvarez and Jeremy Pena could spearhead the offense if healthy, while Hunter Brown at 15-1 is a potential Cy Young contender.
                    • Houston has shown resilience, but with injuries, aging stars, and increased AL West competition, this could be a year they take a step back.
