The Astros are Only 4 Games Back from the AL #1 Seed and 3 Games Back from the #2 Seed

With 25 games to go we need to do 3 games better than CLE to tie their record and set ourselves up for a playoff bye to rest all our starters – then a single series win to get to an 8th ALCS in a row. If we tie on record with CLE and win 1/3 against them for our last series of the year, we will be tied on head-to-head record, then the tiebreaker goes to intra-division record and we only have a half-game advantage on them as of now. Need to keep winning and best if we can just sweep CLE at the finish.

Update after today’s games: well, dang.
