Welp…the Houston Astros can probably, no most definitely, kiss their postseason hopes goodbye.
Following last night’s deflating extra innings loss to the Seattle Mariners, the 2016 Astros season draws near to its final conclusion with five games to go. The team now trails the Baltimore Orioles by 3.5 games for the final Wild Card spot.
