30 teams in 120 days of quarantine: Houston Astros fantasy preview

The wait is over. The fantasy baseball season begins tonight. For you last-minute drafters, here is the last preview featuring the Astros who led the majors with 107 wins last season.

Most of you, like me, have played DFS for quite some time. We have never seen anything like this before. A bare lobby. No upcoming contests. E-Sports touts are in hog heaven. Even most DFS touts are trying to become E-Sports touts. It’s nuts!

Most of you, also like me, still play season-long fantasy baseball. Some for money. Some not. Some just because it’s the only interaction you have with some friends anymore. Whatever the case, we can use this break in DFS to get us polished up for our fantasy baseball drafts.

The Astros lost Cole to the Yankees, something they saw coming. That’s why they were willing to move so many prospects to wrap up Greinke, who is still under contract for a couple of years. The loss of Cole hurts, but how much? Let’s dive right in!

Here we will examine the Houston Astros projected lineup and rotation, and who to draft and in what general spot. We will also take a look at prospects that could make their debuts and have a fantasy impact in 2020. The 2019 stats are in parentheses. Let’s get started!
