A first career homer is an unforgettable moment for an MLB rookie. Lucas Spence tripled that magic on Thursday, to the benefit of the Houston Astros. Facing the Athletics in Sacramento, the 23-year-old center fielder hit his first career homer in the second inning, his second career homer in the seventh inning and his third career homer in the ninth inning. The Astros won 7-5, allowing them to stay tied atop the AL West with the Texas Rangers. They came at the Athletics’ temporary home of Sutt...

Earlier this week, the Athletics opened the final week and homestand of the season by sweeping the Los Angeles Angels in a brief two-game series. Now that the A’s are no longer at risk of losing 100 games, they can turn their attention to keeping the Houston Astros out of the playoffs by winning this […]

Ken Rosenthal and Alanna Rizzo react to Aaron Judge pushing back on Aaron Boone’s injury prognosis and examine the unusual disconnect surrounding the Yankees star. They break down the final weekend of the regular season, including the sub-.500 Astros and Rangers tied atop the AL West, the AL Central race and the battle for NL Wild Card seeding. On Inside Dish, Ken explains why the Reds have failed to follow the Brewers’ model, whether Cincinnati mismanaged its assets and how the organization s...
Technically, there’s a miniscule chance the Mariners could sneak into the playoffs. They’d need to win out and both the Rangers and Astros would have to lose out. That would give all three teams a 78-84 record and Seattle would take the division via a three-way tiebreaker. FanGraphs thinks the chances of that happening are […]
The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers are battling it out. Both have losing records (78-80) and are duking it out for the American League West Division title. So whoever wins will carry an added stigma. On Wednesday, the Astros played the Seattle Mariners. Houston gave up a 4-o lead to the Mariners, resulting in a […]

Getty Images The American League West race is still very much in the air, even with mere days — hours, if you’re partial to more difficult arithmetic — remaining in the 2026 Major League Baseball season. This would normally yield a certain amount of taut intrigue, given that a playoff berth and World Series aspirations hinge upon the outcome. Normally. This, though, is the AL West in 2026, and normality is not welcome here. What is intrigue? It is the unknown punctuated by the compelling. The ...

Good morning! As Matt lays out today, there is a very slight possibility that the Red Sox fall to the third Wild Card slot, thus avoiding the first round Yankees matchup that has seemed all but inevitable for weeks now.
