The 'Stros aren't making it easy on their fans, who are waiting for the team to clinch. So, this guide explains who fans should support in order for Houston to lock the postseason up. (This may require a shower.)
What needs to happen for the Astros to clinch a postseason spot? ABC13's Adam Winkler explains the best path for the defending champs heading into the final three games of the season. He also says this rooting interest might require you to take shower.In the American League, four teams are battling for three playoff spots as the regular season enters its final weekend.
Entering Friday, the Astros trail the Rangers by two games in the race to win the AL West division title. Seattle is one game behind the 'Stros in both the division race and the chase for the final AL wild-card spot. With Seattle being the only team still capable of catching the Astros in the standings, it might behoove 'Stros fans to cheer on the Rangers to eliminate the Mariners. While the Astros could still win the division title by sweeping Arizona and having Texas lose at least two games this weekend, that scenario is unlikely.gives the 'Stros a fewer-than-10% chance of winning the division. However, should the Mariners beat Texas on Friday, Seattle's playoff odds increase from 33.
And remember: should the 'Stros and Seattle finish tied in the standings, the Mariners own the tiebreaker by virtue of a better head-to-head record. So, if one of these four teams has to be eliminated - Houston, Toronto, Texas or Seattle - it might as well be the only squad capable of chasing down the Astros in the standings.: 87-72, 2nd in AL West, holds third AL wild card, one game behind second AL wild card: 88-71, 3rd in AL East, holds second AL wild card
