The Houston Astros have not had a very impressive year. The Astros may have been a playoff team in 8 of the last 9 seasons, but the 2026 season has seen them struggle to keep their heads above water as they play their final 8 games of the regular season. The team has benefitted greatly […] The post Astros’ nightmare seeding, matchup scenarios for 2026 MLB Playoffs appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Friday marked a big day for the Atlanta Braves, who secured a spot in the postseason after a 6-2 win over the Houston Astros. It will be the club’s eighth postseason in nine years. The game featured a strong start from Tyler Mahle, three Atlanta home runs, and some late inning hits to provide the […]
Today’s Reflections Hot take here: I think it is a lot more enjoyable watching PCA’s quest at 40/40 than Sosa/McGwire ‘98. Back then, almost 140 home runs between two guys (yes, it was “unreal and unprecedented”), but it got a little predictable and boring. Sammy never met a curtain call he didn’t love. I haven’t […]
Atlanta punched its postseason ticket on Friday night, beating the Astros 6-2 at Daikin Park behind a trio of home runs and a sharp outing from Tyler Mahle. The win officially clinched a playoff berth for the Braves and trimmed their magic number to claim the National League East to four over the Phillies. Mahle […] The post Braves clinch playoff berth win big win over Astros appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Atlanta Braves held a subdued celebration when they clinched a playoff berth Friday night after missing out last season. The first-place Braves beat the Houston Astros 6-2 to punch their ticket to the postseason for the eighth time in nine years. They secured at least a National League wild card and reduced their magic number to three for winning the NL East. Afterward, there was no wild celebration, but rather a simple toast with bubbly before they began looking ahead. “We’ve got our eyes...
Getty Images With a win over the Astros on Friday night, the Atlanta Braves have secured a spot in the 2026 Major League Baseball postseason, joining the Brewers and Dodgers on the National League side of the bracket. The Braves, under first-year manager Walt Weiss, are pulling away from the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East as well, and should wrap up the division title in the coming days. The Braves have successfully rebounded from their 86-loss campaign of 2025, and they are...
And the plot thickens. Braves 6 Astros 2. With the loss and the combination of the Rangers win, things are once again knotted up atop the A.L. West. Peter Lambert was cruising along until the 4th. The Braves strung together three straight hits, the biggest coming off the bat of Michael Harris who took […]
The Braves hit three more two-run homers and Tyler Mahle was excellent once again as Atlanta took down the Houston Astros, 6-2, and clinched a playoff bid in the National League. The Phillies also lost on Friday night, so the magic number for the division sits at three. The bats were quiet in the early […]

Trey Yesavage took another step towards his Toronto Blue Jays return on Friday. The 23-year-old right-hander threw a side session in Texas, opening the door for him to take the mound for the Blue Jays on either Sunday or Monday. Blue Jays manager John Schneider, however, told reporters that Yesavage is “more likely” to pitch on Monday. Yesavage has been recovering from knee surgery he underwent in mid-August after exiting a start against the Houston Astros on Aug. 4 before the third inning. To...
This is an important weekend of games for the Atlanta Braves, who can clinch a playoff spot with a win (or Diamondbacks loss) on Friday night. A win would also trim the magic number to clinch the National League East to four (or even three) pending what the Phillies do at Citi Field on Friday night. Following a frustrating series loss in Chicago to the Cubs, the Braves will turn to deadline acquisition Tyler Mahle to right the ship. In the series opener, manager Walt Weiss is sending out his u...
Getty Images The Triple Crown in the baseball world is a bit of an old-school feat, but it is a feat that very rarely happens these days, nonetheless. No hitter has won a Triple Crown since Miguel Cabrera pulled it off in 2012. Cabrera’s feat was the first since 1967. A Triple Crown is leading your respective league in batting average, home runs and RBI. As noted, it’s a bit old school because batting average isn’t the most preferred rate stat and people have also shifted attention away from R...

It’s hard to believe, but there are just nine baseball games remaining in the regular season for the Atlanta Braves. The first of those nine will come on Friday night in Houston as the Braves battle with the Astros for first time in 2026. The Astros, despite a paltry 77-76 record and a -50 run differential, find themselves atop the abysmal American League West by a game over the Rangers. For comparison, a 77-76 mark would place Houston just ahead of the Marlins in the NL East, a rousing 12 gam...

The magic numbers for the Atlanta Braves are starting to get lower and lower now that we’re entering the final portion of the regular season. As far clinching Atlanta’s first Postseason bid since 2024 and their eighth playoff appearance in the past nine seasons, the math is as simple as it gets. The Braves get in here on Friday, September 18 with either: A win over the Astros, OR A Diamondbacks loss That’s it. Just one of those things need to happen and the Braves will be sharing firm handshak...
