ALCS: Astros on Verge of Eliminating Yankees
We may not have seen the last of the Astros before the All-Star break. Here are the potential implications for their season:
I’ve been making the following general comments about Houston for the last five years. But they’re so familiar I’m afraid to jinx it: The Astros (and everyone else in the AL West) will take the division again this year (and probably win the division).

The Orioles and Royals will probably be worse than normal. You can make it seem as if no Astros team will make the playoffs, but the truth is the Astros will make the playoffs and the AL Wild Card. (I’m not worried about the Royals, though because they’re a mediocre team anyway.)
