By the lofty standards established by the Houston Astros since 2017, this has been an absolutely abysmal season. There have been a slew of injuries to pitchers, the new manager might be in over his head, and then there's Jose Abreu, who is mercifully gone. There's been very little to enjoy.

Therefore, the All Star break next month should provide some relief, if indeed the Astros are unable to get this ship turned around. Right now, it would appear that, for a team that has been among the worst in the American League most of the season, the Astros could be well represented in the Midsummer Classic.
