The Astros (98-57) reduced their magic number to clinch the American League West to three over the A's, who lost to the Twins on Sunday. Houston's 98 wins are the third-most in club history in a season.
The Astros have seven games remaining and they have five fewer losses than the 2nd place Oakland Athletics.
The close out the regular season with three games in Toronto against the Blue Jays and four games in Baltimore. The Orioles have the worst record in major league baseball 45-110.
Oakland has clinched the final wildcard spot. They have six games remaining, three at Seattle Mariners and three vs the LA Angels.
--------------------------------
At the other end of the spectrum, the Houston Texas will be lucky to win three games all season. They have a solid quarterback that plays behind the worst offensive line in football.

The Oakland A's have the best record in baseball since the All-Star Game. I hope to see the A's vs Astros in the ALCS.
