For the second time during the 2019 MLB season, the Houston Astros have won 10 straight games. They earned their 10th consecutive victory defeating the Boston Red Sox 7-3 in Fenway Park. The Astros also won 10 in a row between April 4th and April 16th.
Last month, their 10th win straight win put them atop the AL West following a strong start by the Seattle Mariners. At the time, the only team in the AL West with a losing record was the Los Angeles Angels. Now the Astros are the only team in the division with a winning record as they lead the Angels by 8.5 games. If that wasn't enough the Astros also have the best overall record in MLB at 31-15.
The only other team in MLB history to have two winning streaks of 10 or more games at this stage of this season were the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers when they began that season 22-2. They, of course, would be the first Dodgers team to win a World Series.
The Astros won their first World Series title. But they could very well be on their way to their second championship if they continue to play this way.
