Houston Astros Betting Preview
Houston very nearly made it to another World Series last season, falling short in Game 7 of the ALCS against the Texas Rangers. Texas ended up winning the World Series after taking out the Astros, leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of the Astros to be sure. This year, the Astros are once again among the favorites to win the World Series, as they will look to prove once again that they are the best team in baseball.
The Astros added a closer in the offseason and they will hope that Josh Hader joining them will help them get through high-leverage situations. While the loss of Michael Brantley could hurt a bit, this Astros lineup will be dangerous once again and they will be a force to be reckoned with not just in the AL West, but in the hunt for the championship.

Key Additions: Josh Hader
Key Departures: Michael Brantley, Martin Maldonado
The addition of Josh Hader is a big deal for the Astros, as having an elite closer will do a lot for their chances of winning the World Series. Houston did lose some players who have been staples on their roster over the last few years in Michael Brantley and Martin Maldonado. While neither of those players are stars, changes in the Astros lineup could present early obstacles this season.
Offensive Outlook
Offensively, Houston is so dangerous, thanks in large part to their pair of stars in Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez. Alvarez is a constant threat to finish the season with the most home runs in baseball, while Altuve can hurt opposing pitchers in so many different ways. We expect Houston to continue to bludgeon opposing pitching in 2024 and beyond.
Pitching Outlook
The top of the Astros rotation is going to be very good in 2024, led by Framber Valdez and Justin Verlander. Adding Josh Hader to the back end of their bullpen is also huge. But some more consistency is needed from the tail end of the rotation in Houston if they want to improve their seeding enough to put themselves in a position to win a World Series again.
Positives & Negatives
The number one positive for the Astros entering the 2024 season is the fact that they should be a contender to win the World Series once again. That is the product of several smaller positives, like the fact that they have quality starting pitching and that their bats are some of the best in baseball. The back end of the rotation is a negative for this team, but that is a small complaint when you can shorten your rotation in the playoffs.
Houston Astros Season Win Total Pick & Prediction: Over 92.5
We will go with the over on the season win total for the Houston Astros this season. This team won just 90 games last year but they should be closer to 95 this season given the steps backward that teams like the Angels and Mariners made in the offseason in this division. And once again, the Astros will be standing deep into October.
