Well, ladies and gentlemen, the Houston Astros have finally clinched a playoff berth this season for the second year in a row. With their thrashing of the Angels at the hands of Yuli Gurriel, they locked at least a playoff spot.
There is still a chance that the Astros don’t win the division though, that seems unlikely as the team as the easiest strength of schedule the rest of the way. The Astros magic number to clinch the division is six. In some combination of Astros wins and A’s losses will guarantee a division round matchup against the Indians.
