After leading the American League for virtually the entire season, the Astros now find themselves holding the two-seed thanks to the Indians 20-game win streak. Houston also suffered an embarrassing four-game sweep at the hands of the A’s. This is a team that has been on cruise control for the better part of three months. There will be immense pressure on Justin Verlander to lead the staff in the playoffs with Dallas Keuchel continuing to struggle and Lance McCullers fresh off the disabled list. Brad Peacock may hold the key to the Astros making a run at the World Series.
