## Resource

The Astros’ starting pitchers have flipped the script, posting a blistering 2.77 ERA over their last 15 games—the third-best in MLB—while racking up 77 strikeouts and slashing their WHIP. Even with a struggling offense, this dominant rotation, led by Cristian Javier’s recent surge and Hayden Wesneski’s four-win streak, has become the team’s lifeline. Rookie Ethan Pecko and surprise contributors like Peter Lambert are rounding out a deep, effective staff. If the bats start clicking alongside this pitching resurgence, the Astros could be playoff contenders by season’s end.
