Summary
The Astros are on fire, winning eight of their last twelve games and extending their AL West lead to three games as they race toward the playoffs. A six-game road trip against tough opponents like the Yankees and Mets helped turn things around, especially with a stellar 60% win rate against other winning teams. ESPN’s power rankings have them jumping to 13 — now the sixth-best AL team — and Yordan Alvarez remains a top MVP candidate despite losing his Triple Crown chase. With momentum building, this late-season surge could secure not just a playoff spot, but a higher seed. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
