At the All Star break the Astros sit tied atop the AL West division with the Oakland A's.

The Astros are sending 6 players to the All Star game, including 4 starters (SP Verlander, 2B Altuve, 3B Bregman, & LF Brantley). In addition to those 4, the Astros are sending closer Roberto Osuna and RP Ryan Pressly.

Altuve is a possible AL MVP candidate with his .343 AVG (3rd), .411 OBP (5th), .540 SLG (3rd), .951 OPS (3rd), 5 triples (3rd), 4.5 WAR (5th), 125 hits (2nd), and 78 runs scored (2nd).

Notable trades around the league:

The Tampa Bay Rays have made two separate trades with the Yankees & Giants respectively, acquiring both Mike Stanton AND Madison Bumgarner! They currently sit 3rd in the AL East - 11.5 games behind the Red Sox and 2.5 games out of the second wild card spot.
