Well, after dropping the first game out of four to the lowly Pittsburg Pirates, the Astros took the last three of the series and STILL have a two game lead in the Wild Card.

BUT we're on the road for three against the Cubs which play Houston very well AND we have to go to St. Louis for two. Then it's back to Houston for four more with the Cubs.

Fortunately it appears Florida and Washington are pretty much out of it and Philadelphia has six of their nine remaining games on the road against Cincinnati and Washington, and three at home against the Mets.

I don't think they'll win six of their last nine BUT I do think Houston will win five of their last nine so that means the Astros SHOULD win the Wild Card.
