The Houston Astros are guaranteed to make the playoffs and won’t have to play in the American League Wild Card game. Those two facts are set but who the Astros will play is not set.
The Indians still hold the top record in the American League by one game, and basically, Cleveland has to fall on their face for Houston to slip into the top spot.
But the Astros still have a chance. Manager A.J. Hinch has kept his Sunday starter open with a chance of using his top starters to help secure the top spot.
