However, let’s not forget yesterday’s curveball. Texas clinched a victory, yet their offense hasn’t truly rekindled the magic from the first half of the season and even in July. If they don’t rediscover that form soon, they could be in for some challenges.
While Seattle might sneak up and surpass Texas, when all’s said and done, the smart money is on Houston to clinch the division.
Indeed, as the season unfolds, the AL West promises high-octane action, keeping fans and pundits on the edge of their seats. But if there’s one takeaway from the crowded division race, it is that the Astros remain the team to beat.
