The former American League MVP was in postseason mode with his performances against Texas and San Diego. This is his fifth career weekly award.
Altuve, whose award is the fifth in his career and his second of the season, also scored nine runs and accounted for eight runs batted in to support Houston's 5-1 week against the Texas Rangers and the San Diego Padres.
Altuve, Chas McCormick, and Framber Valdez, who is the starting pitcher Monday in Houston's series-opener against Oakland, are the only Astros to earn the AL Player of the Week award this season. Entering Monday, Houston holds a two-and-a-half-game lead over Seattle and three-game lead over Texas for first place in the AL West.
If the postseason began, the Astros would be the division champion, earning the No. 2 seed and a bye into the AL Divisional Series. They would have homefield advantage against the winner of the Seattle-Minnesota best-of-three Wild Card Series.currently give Houston a 99% chance of making the postseason and an 84% chance of clinching the AL West. The Astros also have an AL-best 13% chance of repeating as World Series champions, with Tampa Bay holding the next-best odds at 10%.
