Though AL-leading New York may be 6.5 games better than Houston in the standings, both World Series contenders now have whopping 11-game leads over the second-place clubs in their respective divisional races.

There is still a ton of baseball left to be played this season, but the Astros and the Yankees seem to be on a collision course to meet in the ALCS once again.

While some baseball fans may dock the Astros for it being a combined no-hitter, Houston still went into the Yankees’ baseball cathedral and rendered them completely hitless for all the world to see. A win might be a win in the ledger, but not all wins are created equal. This one will certainly carry some major gravitas heading into the final game of the series between these bitter AL rivals.

May these two titans clash once again in the postseason for everybody baseball fan’s enjoyment.
