The Houston Astros are AL West Champions for the 8th time in their last 9 full seasons!
Rangers lose to the Twins which guarantees the Astros will win the division because of the tiebreaker.
Houston will play the White Sox at Daikin in the Wild Card round on Tuesday at 4PM.
The Astros are now the only AL team that controls their own destiny for the 2 seed.
The Astros, Guardians, and White Sox all have 75 losses. If they all win out, Houston gets the 2 seed.

Josh Hader's next save will be career save #250.
A shutout inning would move his career ERA to 2.50.
His career ERA as a National League pitcher is 2.50.
His career ERA as an AL pitcher would drop to 2.50.
The Astros may become the first team in MLB history to make the postseason in a full regular season while never being more than 3 games over .500 at any point.
The current “record” is held by the 2025 Cincinnati Reds who had a high water mark of 7 games over .500.

What a truly remarkable run by the Astros from 2017-2024:
- 8 consecutive trips to the postseason
- 2 World Series championships
- 4 American League pennants
- 7 straight trips to the ALCS
- 7 AL West titles
- 99 playoff games
- Countless champagne celebrations
The Magic Number to clinch a bye into the ALDS dropped by 1 due to the Tigers loss. On the off day, Astros individual team Magic Numbers dropped by 1 over TOR, DET, BOS, and KC.
