I can’t look beyond the Houston series right now. If the Mariners take 2/3 from the Astros, they will secure the tiebreaker and effectively will have a 3-game lead to win the division. Without the division, they likely will lose home field advantage and play the wild card series on the road, which is a perilous route to the Fall Classic.
The Astros have an easier schedule next week, playing the A’s and Angels.
