A sweep by the Astros would probably put the Tigers season to bed. Astros have 25 more games before the All-Star break. They probably need to go 15-10 at worst to justify taking a buyer’s posture at the deadline. Thats doable since they only play one really good team in that stretch: Tigers, Guardians, Blue Jays, Tigers, Twins, Rays, Nats, Rangers. Clock is ticking on putting together a season-saving win streak. Getting a look at Brown, Javier, and Diaz as they get back will answer a good number of questions. So will seeing how Smith, Altuve, and Matthews play. It’s a shame Blanco isn’t coming back until August. There’s a small chance Houston wins enough to buy at the deadline but really doesn’t have a clear glaring need.
