## Resource

The Astros are on fire, riding a seven-game win streak to grab a two-game lead in the AL West—and now they’re eyeing that sweet second seed with a first-round bye. Just months ago, this looked impossible, but three wins over Chicago have changed everything. Facing the playoff-hungry Diamondbacks this weekend, Houston must stay perfect as the Rangers play the Rays. With games against Philly and Tampa looming, one slip could cost them. Javier vs. Kelly Friday night? That’s where it all starts. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
