2018 Houston Astros Season Thread

Oakland is not winning 100 games this year.

I’ll tip my cap. I expected them to be about 5 or more games back by now. But I do expect them to finally crack this week with their rotation issues and the pressure that’s putting on their bullpen.

I do really hate our 7 game creampuff road trip is the final 7 games.
I think it’s a whole lot harder to be bad teams when you HAVE to beat bad teams.
Would much rather have those games next week and get the 5-2 or so record under your belt rather than having to beat them the final week to clinch.

In summary, f selig.

I’m wrong on this. H2H determines home field in tie break game.

jesus, it looks like post wildcard but pre-2012 we would've been fine with a tie.  now we'd still have to play a tie-breaking game.  that would really fucking suck to lose that game, then have to play a wildcard game with your sp2, then if you win, start a division series with your sp3.  of course oakland doesn't really have that issue.
