Despite Friday night’s disaster, the Houston Astros have been generally been playing some good baseball. Houston is 10-5 their last 15 games and have won their last five series. This uber-talented team, one that has certainly had some highs and lows, appears to be revving up just in time for the playoff run.
The Astros will finish off the weekend series in Oakland, then close out the season at home against the Tampa and Oakland. Houston will likely need to win at least seven of their last eight games (and sweep Tampa at home) if they want to try to get the AL No.
