## Resource

The Astros are cruising with an 11-game division lead, but history warns: late-season slips can derail even the best. In 2025, they collapsed after a 5-game skid, lost a tiebreaker to Detroit. In 2024, they locked in the title with poise. In 2023, they clawed back from a late deficit to win in a tiebreaker. This year’s goal? Avoid the stumble, control their destiny, and finish strong against tough opponents — while keeping a close eye on the Rangers.
