40 Best Houston Astros-inspired fantasy baseball team names to try out in 2023

The Houston Astros were unmatched in 2022. With 110 wins, the team used the regular season as a springboard to launch a successful postseason campaign, sweeping the New York Yankees in the ALCS and besting the Philadelphia Phillies to capture their second World Series in six seasons.

It only makes sense that fans would want to pay homage to this ridiculously skilled team when selecting names for their fantasy baseball teams.

Although the team lost their Cy Young winning pitcher Justin Verlander, they still boast arms like Framber Valdez, Cristian Javier and Ryan Pressly, all of whom ranked as some of the most prolific pitchers last season.

The Houston Astros added another layer of skill when they signed Jose Abreu to a three-year deal worth $38 million. The former Chicago White Sox star won the 2020 MVP and the 2014 Rookie of the Year Award following his defection from his native Cuba.

Another Cuban who looks set to continue his staggering offensive production is Yordan Alvarez. Alvarez hit .306/.406/.613 with 37 home runs and 97 RBIs last season, finishing third in the AL MVP Award voting.
