there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

10 runs on 16 hits and not a single one went over the fence. Not something you see out of the Astros too often.

You’re not wrong but not completely surprising giving we’re average in HRs (11th in the majors), but lead the majors in BA, OBP and strike out the fewest

I hear you, but I'm pulling for A's and Mariners for the WC and Red Sox/Yankee/Toronto collapse.  Tonight helped.

Same, although I wouldn't mind Toronto making it.  But I've been dreaming of a Yankee/Sawks free playoffs for decades.

I think it's pretty safe to say the Astros won't make history with *four consecutive 100+ win seasons, unless they finish 18-4 over their last 22 games.

None of you will be surprised to learn this but the Astros are five games under their pythag ex-W/L record of 87-53. The league's "luckiest" team according to ex-W/L is Seattle at +12 and an expected 65-76 record. 

The Dodgers look like baseball's best team right now and are 4th worst in BRef Luck category at -6 and an ex-W/L of 95-47. It would be such a shame if they get knocked out in a one-game wild card playoff.....

i agree, they're hands down the best team in the wild card race. one game playoff games are screwy man. 

The Giants have been playing out of their minds as well. 21-9 over their last 30, 43-32 vs +.500 teams, and only +3 in the "luck" category. One of those two teams is going to be in a one-game playoff scenario and hopefully it's the Dodgers and they get their asses beat.
