Nobody has caught the Astros in the West, and with a 13-game lead in the division, it would take a two-week losing streak for anyone to come close. Houston swept four games in Oakland and took two out of three in a weekend set in Seattle thanks in large part to timely run production, a solid bullpen and the return of Lance McCullers from the DL.
