Race for the 2nd seed

The Astros are currently four games back of the Guardians for the 2nd seed in the AL. If they can gain at least one game on them in the next four days, they play the Guardians in Cleveland the last series of the season with a chance to take the 2nd seed away from them.

Do you think the Astros try to go for the 2nd seed if they have the opportunity, or will they rest starters once the division is in hand? I'm partially biased because I have tickets to two of the three games next weekend, but I say they should go for it. Fluky things can happen in a three-game series, and I would try to avoid having to play in the wild card round if at all possible.
