9/02/24 | 3 Astros ready for breakout September ahead of playoffs. Assuming they can hold off the Seattle Mariners, the Houston Astros will head back to the postseason in 2024. With Justin Verlander back on the mound and Kyle Tucker seemingly on his way back, Houston has the makings of another team that can make a deep run. The scary part is the Astros have so much more than the All-Star who have helped them to seven consecutive appearances in the American League Championship series. The Astros' September schedule has a mix of contenders and non-contenders in it, giving them plenty of potential pitfalls as they look to wrap up the AL West.

8/26/24 | How Houston Astros shook off ugly start to reclaim AL West: 'Push the issue'. Reach seven consecutive American League Championship Series and win a pair of World Series in that span and yes, the Houston Astros have earned every benefit of the doubt, every expectation that since they have so much respect for the grind of a 162-game season, that their desired outcome will await them in the end. There was good reason: Twenty-six games into rookie manager Joe Espada's tenure, they were 7-19 and in the West cellar, facing a 6 ½-game deficit that would grow to 10 games by June 18. The forthright public proclamations that things would turn belied an early-season urgency the Astros simply hadn't needed in this era. “Don't get me wrong: We're in here knowing what's going on,” veteran pitcher Justin Verlander tells USA TODAY Sports.
