PrintWho knew? When the Astros started spring training back in March, I'm pretty sure they didn't have this equation for wins:
Brett Myers Start + Hunter Pence HR = Astros Win!
We've talked before about Myers' streak of six-inning starts, which he extended to 29 games with this one. We've also talked about what a good offensive night from Pence means for the Astros in the win column. What I'd like to to talk about here is which one of those two could be considered the Astros MVP this season?
I'd make a case for Myers, since he's consistently been one of the best pitchers in the rotation all year, while Pence just turned his season around three months ago. I'd be persuaded either way, and we've still got time to decide it, but what do you all think? Who's been more valuable?

The leading position player per FanGraphs’ WAR is actually Michael Bourn with 3.3 (mostly due to his defense). Myers leads all with 3.8 and Wandy also has more than any position player at 3.4.
You could make the case that Bourn makes Myers pitching look good.

Wallace looked like he was stuck between his old swing and the swing he showed on the home run. If he’s really trying to change, that’s to be expected off and on for awhile I think.
I thought his stance looked a little more open.
