Ladies and gentlemen, the Houston Astros are the AL West division champs!
To be honest, that wasn’t a line I expected to write last week. Or numerous times throughout the season. In a campaign with numerous suboptimal developments, it felt like the Wild Card was about the best outcome for this group of players. But, in a strange twist of fate with some unexpected help, the Astros came out ahead on the final day of the season and won their sixth AL West title in the last seven seasons. Hey, I’m not complaining.
WINNERS WIN TITLES.
