Baseball is such an unpredictable game, and the Astros will probably sweep the Rays.

Unfortunately, it's not going to make much difference in the standings.

Unless the Astros can rip off 20 wins in a row, I don't see how they're going to make up the type of ground they need to make up in the standings.

The Astros would have to start winning the majority of series they play the rest of this year. It's just not 2004 or 2005 ( and to some degree 2006 ) anymore. The Astros won't have that type of winning surge in the second half of the season. The reason is because there's no three-headed monster in the starting rotation, and there's certainly no big three in the bullpen.
