- Astros with b2b 3-HR games after going 4 games with 0 (longest drought since 2021). - Ronel still going strong - Big 4 get rest - Guardians lose (4.5 games behind) - Astros 2nd in AL run-diff Bring the brooms tomorrow.
Probably not as long as you can remember but yes, a long time. That doesn’t make it any less silly.
Possible. Highly unlikely. Their magic number is 3 Basically if the Astros lose another game, or the Guardians win another game leading up to their series, then the Astros will have to sweep them. If Astros win next 4 and Guardians lose all 3, then the Astros can go 1-2 vs them and still clinch.
So if someone gave you the choice of the Astros remain 5 games ahead going into the 3 game series vs Seattle vs letting the games play out tomorrow, what would you take?
He's raised his batting average by 24 points since his return to action 15 days ago. .405/.500/.667 after not playing for three months
That's not true, we would in that scenario need to go 2-1 vs Cleveland to get the bye. I think the best we can hope for is we're within 3 games of Cleveland needing a sweep. I would take that and would not be surprised to see us pull that off. Hopefully Cleveland has a hangover tomorrow from celebrating and lose. Then we are down to that magical 3 in the loss column vs Cleveland.
Other teams have totally different shirts with a different font, we just stuck a "Los" on top of Astros like it was a last second thing we just found out about.
