On Friday night, the Houston Astros clinched home-field advantage in the American League, and with one more win, will clinch it throughout the postseason.
That means the winner of the Rays-A’s wild card will come to Houston for the ALDS, and if they advance, the winner of the Yankees-Twins series would come to Houston for the ALCS.
And despite Wade Miley’s struggles as the fourth man in the rotation, the Astros have found a gem in Jose Urquidy who has pitched very well as of late and may slide into that spot.
