Astros face toughest remaining schedule among AL West contenders

si.com

The Houston Astros face the hardest remaining schedule among AL West contenders with 23 games left, holding a .509 opponent win percentage versus the Rangers' .505 and Mariners' .414. Houston boasts baseball's best record against winning teams at 26-15 (63.4%), but struggles against sub-.500 opponents at 44-54. Their remaining slate includes eight games against the Rays, Braves, and White Sox, plus wild-card contenders Philadelphia and Arizona. The Rangers face only three tough teams left, while Seattle sits 5.0 games back with a significantly easier path. Houston's strong play against quality opponents could prove decisive, but their weakness against weaker teams remains a concern.
