Some quick Astros bites (or is it bytes?).
- For now the Astros’ playoff odds look really good.
After winning 19 of their last 24 games, the Astros are sitting pretty in the standings. I know momentum can shift on a dime, but currently the Astros playoff odds are looking very good. Let’s update the latest odds from the Fangraphs model. (I am using the FG WAR version of the model below.)
In my previous article, the comparison was between the Astros and Mariners/Rangers. Now the comparison is with the Detroit Tigers, since that team is the only AL contender with higher playoff odds.
