Notes
The Astros have already secured the series and the Silver Boot, but there’s still plenty left to play for. Can they pull off another sweep? With Houston holding a 1½-game lead in the AL West, every win helps keep the pressure on the Rangers and strengthens its grip on the division. The Astros have also shown they can compete with anyone during this recent surge, and completing the sweep would send them into the next series with even more momentum.
