The Astros snapped a 2-game skid in their last game and while they will not catch the Rangers in the AL West, 9.5 games back, they have a legit shot at the Wild Card only 2 games out of the 2nd spot.
The Indians are red hot winners of 6 straight games and they are in first place in the AL Central with a 5.5 game cushion over the Detroit Tigers.
In their last games the Astros beat the Texas Rangers 7-6 and the Indians beat the Miami Marlins 6-5.
The Indians are 17-6 in their last 23 games facing the Astros and 11-2 in their last 13 home games against them.

Fiers faced the Indians very early in the season in Houston and had a solid outing giving up only 1 earned run in 7 innings of work in a 7-1 Astros win.
