It must be nice to be the Houston Astros.
A talented, young core that will be together for years, the best starting rotation in the big leagues, a World Series celebration fresh in their minds, on their way to a second consecutive American League West crown …

Contrast that with the Seattle Mariners, who are on the cusp of a 17th consecutive season without a postseason appearance.
