## Resource

The Astros are clinging to a one-game AL West lead as they battle the White Sox, with Hayden Wesneski on the mound against Davis Martin. After a sluggish start, Houston has surged into the top tier of the American League since late May, dominating teams with winning records. Yordan Alvarez is crushing it—leading MLB in batting average and RBIs, tied for homers, and setting franchise records for intentional walks. Josh Hader’s been nearly unhittable, converting every save opportunity. Wesneski’s making a strong return from injury, and the minor leagues are churning out standout talent too—this team’s depth and resilience are undeniable.
