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 […]
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...

We asked, you answered. We asked our readers around the country who they think will win the AL West. Here was your answer: Overwhelmingly, our readers chose the Houston Astros to win the AL West over the Texas Rangers. As of today, the Astros (77-76) have a 1 game lead over the Rangers (76-77) for […]
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...
With just 10 days remaining in the regular season, this will be the last waiver wire article of 2026. Thank you to those who regularly took the time to add the players recommended in this space, and those who are still reading at this time of year have likely benefited from the additions. This week’s list is a balance of players with favorable schedules next week and those who can push a fantasy squad over the top this weekend. Hitters to add Cam Smith, OF, Astros, 10%: Fantasy managers should...

The Texas Rangers are competing with the Houston Astros for first place in the American League West division. Texas is in the AL Wild Card conversation as well. However, the Rangers are dealing with injury concerns at the moment. Jack Leiter is among the players battling an injury, but will he return soon? Leiter, 26, […] The post Rangers’ Jack Leiter hoping to return from injury for playoff push appeared first on ClutchPoints .
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers are one game behind the Houston Astros in the American League West with nine games left. Texas lost 4-3 to the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night at Globe Life Field, while Houston beat the Kansas City Royals. The teams had been tied atop the division at 76-76. Texas […]
The Houston Astros got a big win against the Kansas City Royals in the final game of their series, and their big dogs came out to reel them in for a victory. That big dog happened to be Yordan Alvarez, who hit his 40th homer of the season during the game, making him the fifth […] The post Astros’ Jeremy Pena drops ultimate Yordan Alvarez praise after 40th HR appeared first on ClutchPoints .

AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (72-74) lost 7-5 (BOX SCORE) Sugar Land got on the board in the first inning on a Schiavone RBI double. Mayer got the start but ran into some trouble in […]
As the Major League Baseball schedule rounds into its final 10 days, the American League post-season picture remains as jumbled as ever. With three post-season spots, including two division titles, still up for grabs among six October hopefuls, the sprint to the finish line is sure to provide plenty of drama. With the penultimate weekend of regular-season action set to get underway, the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians find themselves tied atop the AL Central and the Houston Astros an...
The Braves’ headlong dash through a sea of contenders is nearly over. They enjoyed an off day on Thursday, they have three against the Astros in Houston, and then a couple of series against non-contenders and that’s it, the regular season is done. While the Braves’ position is almost assured (they’ve nearly clinched a playoff berth and they could theoretically fall out of the division lead but aren’t very likely to), the same cannot be said for the Astros. At 77-76, the Astros are a game ahead...
Nationals right-hander Cade Cavalli will face the Cardinals tonight. He could head into the start with a new deal in hand. The sides are nearing a contract extension, first reported by Robert Murray of FanSided. 1. Story stuns Rangers Texas was two innings away from sweeping Boston and keeping pace with Houston in the AL West. […]
(The background on the recording was not changed – those were the topics for Wednesday’s show, which can be found HERE: https://youtu.be/GGPBWy2W22w) Lindsay Crosby breaks down Atlanta’s offensive collapse vs starters over the past 30 days, showing it’s driven by poor process, early-count strike-one losses, and heavy two-strike chase rather than bad luck. He outlines fixes—punish early fastballs, protect the zone, adjust sooner—then previews the Astros series as a key test, spotlighting Yordan...

Jose Altuve has become dead weight for the Houston Astros, and they're paying the price for their longtime second baseman's regression.
The Atlanta Braves enjoyed an off day Thursday before heading to the Lone Star State for a weekend series with the Houston Astros. The Braves enter play with a four-game lead in the NL East and are coming off a series loss to the Chicago Cubs. The Astros also lead their division and enter play […]
Greetings, What They’re Saying readers! There is a truism often repeated in baseball circles not to trust April or September numbers. I find this idea problematic. And the Houston Astros have a pair of players who illustrate why, one young slugger in Cam Smith, the other veteran Christian Walker. First, a caveat: I am not...

It’s the final regular season homestand and it’s one of the tougher matchups.

Astros outfielder Jake Meyers is done for the year after fouling a ball of his left knee cap in the minors, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. He was placed on the minor league injured list September 12, per to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. For the 2026 Astros, it means a bit less center field depth for the stretch run and the postseason, should they qualify. Meyers has slid down the chart, which is why he was in the minors, but it’s a subtraction nonetheless. Jorge Barrosa was re...
