Astros Clinch a Playoff Spot for the Seventh Straight Season

Your Houston Astros defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night 1-0, behind a strong pitching performance from Justin Verlander, and some great bullpen moments from Hector Neris and Bryan Abreu.

The Astros are heading back to the postseason for the seventh consecutive season. And while the Astros are 89-72 with one game left to play, the AL West will be decided on Sunday.

With the Mariners now eliminated from the postseason, if the Astros win on Sunday, and the Mariners beat the Rangers, the Astros can win the AL West and get a first round bye. However if the Rangers win, no matter what the Astros do Sunday, they'll be headed to the Wild Card round.
