Houston Astros fans — it’s that time of the year and our beloved World Series Champion is back in the postseason, ready to defend the title that they won last year. The division race made the Houston Astros sweat a bit as a rough 14-12 record in August allowed them to relinquish their leadership briefly in the race for a Wild Card bye. But the ship has since been righted as the Houston Astros are 18-4 in September with five games left in the season.
Locking up the division is important because one needs to get every possible advantage that can be had to get that coveted competitive edge.
