HOUSTON -- It's been four days since we last dipped into the Inbox, and it was a weekend to forget for the Astros. They were swept in four games by the A's in Oakland on the heels of a seven-game winning streak, getting outscored 41-15 in the process.
The streaking Indians have passed the Astros for the best record in the American League, but the Astros could still clinch the AL West as soon as Friday, and they could do it at home. With three weeks left in the season, there's time for them to find their stride heading into the playoffs.
