With October nearing, the Houston Astros are starting to plan out their roster for the ALDS. The team hasn’t clinched a postseason spot just yet, but with a magic number of four, the Astros are in a good place to start planning.
The Chicago White Sox are the likely foe for the Divisional Series, as the Tampa Bay Rays remain in the one seed with a 2.5-game lead on the Astros. At this point, the Astros could fare nicely against a struggling White Sox team (4-6 in their last 10), who has worries in their rotation with Carlos Rodon’s status.
