It’s a mute point.

Seriously 

astros involved in one of the biggest scandals in baseball and bounced back to advance to the World Series 

Can anyone name 3 starters from their pitching staff? Let alone 1 or 2? Their Alcs MVP was literally robbed in a trade from the dodgers. They didn’t chase high priced free agents. their front office did their thing and put together a great overall roster. 

give credit where credit is due

What idiot has never heard of Greinke, McCullers, or Odorizzi???  Framber Valdez and Jose Urquidy weren't household names but both have been around and had their postseason heroics in recent years.  The one SP people may not be familiar with is Luis Garcia and even that is hard to believe given all the ROY talk that's been attached to him.

I will admit I'd never heard of their two OFers McCormick and Meyers before this year, but the Angels have faced everyone in that rotation including Garcia multiple times.

Agree with giving them their props though.

Bounced back from what? Nothing happened to them.
