The Astros won, and the Rangers lost Sunday, handing the Astros the AL West, no tiebreaker needed.
Houston now takes on the Chicago White Sox beginning today, Tuesday at 4 p.m. CST.
It was not always pretty, and the Astros have holes the size of the State of Texas, but many like the matchup with the White Sox given Houston’s 5-2 head-to-head record against the Southsiders.
Final Standings
Two 100-win teams, both in the NL, and two hundred-loss teams, one in each league, including a franchise first for the Angels.
Final Astros Stats
These are no longer projections, but final numbers.
I have not rearranged them to active and non-active playoff wise because that hasn’t come out as of this time.
Just note, that some stats may be rounded (IP, for example).
Win Shares
Add all these together and you get a net of 81 - which is obviously the Astros win total this season - that’s the goal.
Further breaking it down the batters totaled 60.0 wins and the pitchers 21.0.
Yordan and Isaac, far and away the leaders with Peter Lambert leading the arms.
Splits
Didn’t have time to do all the work I wanted, but here are the batter splits vs. RHPs and LHPs.
Roster not finalized at press time.
Did not include Correa, but note that he has a .798 OPS in 118 PA against LHPs.
