Do the Astros just love drama? Are they going to do like last year, make us wait until the last game of the year before we know if they’ll make the playoffs?
Although the Astros came into this game five games ahead of the Mariners with only six games remaining for both teams, the Ms entered this series with perhaps the best pitching staff in baseball and the hottest hitting during the last two weeks.
On the Astros side, they just lost their most dangerous offensive threat to injury, and their bullpen in the last three games has collapsed.
