Solid ground right now. Last night's loss by 5 drags the score down. Pair that with a -7 run differential over the last 7. The margins are ugly.

Astros News

The Houston Astros are riding a wave of momentum as they lead the AL West with a 63-60 record, but the pressure is mounting ahead of tonight's pivotal game against the Seattle Mariners at Daikin Park. After a heart-pounding 10-7 win yesterday, the Astros look to solidify their standing with Hayden Wesneski making his fourth start of the season. Meanwhile, the bullpen is buzzing, with Steven Okert flying under the radar but proving just as effective as star relievers Josh Hader and Bryan Abreu. Adding to the excitement, the organization will honor legends Alan Ashby and Phil Garner with their induction into the Astros Hall of Fame, celebrating a golden era in franchise history. With the stakes high and history being made, fans should expect a charged atmosphere tonight.

How the division races have changed since the All-Star break

You know what they say: A division isn’t won in April. Sure, sometimes the team atop the standings in April does end up capturing the division crown, but a lot can change over the course of a baseball season -- and even over the course of the final two months.
