How to watch Astros baseball in 2019 without cable
Carlos Correa and George Springer are key cogs in the Houston attack.
After winning the World Series in 2017, the Houston Astros made it to the ALCS last season, where they fell to the Boston Red Sox, who then went on to win it all. In the last two regular seasons, the Astros won more than 100 games and consecutive AL West titles.
The Astros are again favorites again to win their division and make another deep October run. Their offense is formable, led by Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa and George Springer. Two of the toughest righties in baseball -- Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole -- sit atop their pitching staff.
Astros fans who have cut the cable TV cord can still watch Astros games live this season. Exactly how depends on whether you live in or near Houston or elsewhere in the US.
In 2019, most Astros games will be shown on AT&T SportsNet Southwest. Among the major live TV streaming services, only FuboTV offers AT&T SportsNet Southwest. That makes it the only option for streaming those games live.
