What you should watch in the postseason race today: Astros go for 12 in a row against the Angels
With only 11 days left in the season, every game has the potential to alter the postseason picture. As we enter the final days of the stretch run, we'll spotlight the biggest moments that we know you won't want to miss.
Angels at Astros - 8:10 pm ET
Suffice to say, if the Astros played against every team like they do against the Angels, they wouldn't just hope to close the gap for the AL Wild Card. Instead, they'd have the greatest record in baseball history. After losing their first game to the Angels this year, the Astros have won 11 in a row against the Halos, outscoring the team, 73-39, along the way.
As a team, they're hitting .306/.389/.517 against the club, making every player on the team essentially Corey Seager.
Only one game back of a Wild Card spot, if the Astros can keep up this hot streak, they might force their way into October. Including Thursday's matchup, they play seven of their last 10 games against the Angels.
