Top 5 MLB Pitchers Under Six Feet Tall | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The Astros were everyone’s preseason pick to lose about 100 games and finish dead last in the NL Central. Well, a funny thing happened on the way to the bottom, as Houston finds itself in third place, just three games behind the Reds.

A big part of the Astros’ success has been the starting pitching, led by the 5’11" veteran lefty, Wandy Rodriguez. 

While Wandy’s W-L record is a modest 4-4, he’s posted a sparkling 2.14 ERA (nearly two runs lower than his career ERA), along with a 3:1 K/BB ratio, and a .234 BAA.  In his four losses, the Astros scored a total of four runs. 

If Houston’s outfielders can heat up to match the offensive output of the infield, Wandy's run support could improve, and he could have a surprisingly successful summer. Look out, NL Central.
