SEATTLE — Welcome to October, when the Astros are playing meaningful games and the unpredictable will continue to reign.
The American League landscape has already turned crazy in the race for the postseason, and this weekend, the last of the regular season, should bring edge-of-your-seat lunacy. Wednesday night’s 7-6 win over the Mariners had its share.
That Chris Carter would burst alive so late in September, that he would validate general manager Jeff Luhnow for not cutting him, that the righthanded slugger’s locked-in sweet stroke would be the one the Astros’ playoff hopes may hinge on, is nothing short of crazy.
