The Astros right now are not a team that looks like it belongs anywhere near the playoffs. With four games left in the season, they have lost five of their last six games, and the one win occurred because of an infield hit and three walks in the ninth inning.
In these last six games they have scored a total of 12 runs and have averaged about seven hits per game. The pitchers they have faced range from average to good. They’re no way the Chicago White Sox rotation including the likes of Carlos Rodon, whom they’ll face twice (if they’re lucky), or Lance Lynn.
