    Yankees might rest players tomorrow? What's their status on #1 seed?

    Bigger mistake, Robles from yesterday or Julio? Both pretty stupid but guessing Julio because game was on the line. Going to have to look at the replay to see what he was thinking.

    They are still competing against the Guardians for the #1. Don't think they'll rest fully yet.

    Seeing Padres beat Astros if Braves drop out of wild card picture we might get to see sit. where I would't bet big on Mets & D-Backs games. If both are calculating do they wanna face Padres or Brewers pitching might be some "suprising" results :).

    Astros take a step backwards, Seattle takes two.

    Baseball is a funny game and we’ve seen teams limp into the playoffs, get hot and win it all. The 2020 Stros almost did that.

    So I hope I’m wrong and and not giving up on this team but it’s hard after how they performed in SD.

    The Astros can go to 7 straight ALCS's, win 2 World Series, and be the best team in the AL by 4.5 games over the last 100, and people can still go, I just don't know if the Astros have it based on a 3 game series.

    We've had a lot of bad luck this season.

    But we also got lucky that the west was a pillow fight this year.

    Scroll up, I've already asked about Cleveland. Division is just a matter of time.

    That series wasn't bad. If our bats get going, LOOK OUT. Astros-Twins would be a fun series.

    Astros ate running out of time to catch Cleveland.

    It's not impossible, but . . .

    Guardians magic number is 5 vs Astros to assure they finish ahead of them.

    if the Astros finish 10-2 even with a sweep of them, Cleveland wins the bye if they finish 3-6.

    The bye is likely out of play before that series starts.
