Astros' Framber Valdez's track record, postseason experience make him a top free agent candidate this offseason.

The Astros won 13 consecutive games when Valdez took the mound from May 7-July 22, during which he went 10-0 with a 1.86 ERA over 87.0 innings. That streak snapped on July 28, when Houston lost 2-1 to the Nationals despite a quality start from Valdez.
