Lose to Yanks in Play-in?

Possibly....or not make it at all. Twins are not that far behind them if they let Texas take the West.

Only 3 games back in the loss column so who knows

Yeah, Houston is falling off the pace here. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Rangers jump them; Texas has been one of the best teams in the second half.

Haven't looked at schedules so i don't know who has the tougher row to hoe between Minny and the Stros.

To answer OP's query: Meh.

Houston schedule is the following

3 @ LAA
4 @ TEX
3 VS OAK
3 VS LAA
3 VS TEX
3 @ Seattle
3 @ Arizona

Twinkies remaining schedule

3 @ White Sox
3 VS Tigers
4 VS LAA
3 VS CLE
3 @ DET
4@ CLE
3 VS KC

Big advantage for the twins. Those 13 games vs the Angels & Rangers will likely decide the Stros season

Yikes...looks like smart money is on the Twins. Should be a fun division race with all those Lone Star head-to-heads

Chances of Minnesota beating out Houston is very slim... 3.5 game lead is a lot with 20 or 21 games left of the season... If Houston finishes of 11-11 Minnesota has to go 15 and 8 just to have a play in game...

It's baseball though. Not impossible. That could be 1.5 games by Monday morning

nothing is impossible but how often does a team go 15-8 in a 23 game span?? that is slightly worse than going 7-3 for 2 consecutive 10 week spans...

Yup it's very slim.

If the Twins didn't implode last Sunday in Houston and held on to win that game vs Keuchel they would be sitting REAL good being .5 back of Texas and 1.5 of Houston. But they didn't so lots of work to do.

Heading into Tuesday, The Twins are only 1.5 back of Houston and only trail Houston by 1 in the loss column

Would be a good series but Houston has to make the playoffs first.
