What we're watching: Astros' playoff push

State of play: The Astros entered last weekend a game up on the Rangers but were swept by the Braves.

• Houston plays two games in Seattle starting today before closing out the regular season with four games against the Athletics.
• All of their remaining games are on the road.

Between the lines: Houston owns the tiebreaker if the Astros and Rangers finish with the same record.

• Winning the division is their clearest path to the postseason. A wildcard spot is unlikely.
