Houston now holds a 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 game lead on the Twins, Angels, and Indians.
Houston will look to put a little more room between them and the Angels while keeping one eye on the scoreboard as the Indians and Twins get set for a series of their own.
Los Angeles
The Angels were picking up some quick steam after taking the first 3 of a 4 game set against Minnesota this past weekend.
However, after dropping the series finale, the Angels took another step back on Monday after falling 6-3 to the Astros. Bats are starting to get a little cold for some key players at the wrong time too.
Mainly, Albert Pujols who is now 2 for 35 over his last 9 games and has just one home run in September.

Trying to get them back on track, Los Angeles will send LH Hector Santiago to the hill.
The left hander is 0-2 in 8 career appearances against the Astros and has dropped 5 of his last 6 decisions. He was knocked around in Minnesota for 5 runs last time out, but was bailed out by the offense for a no decision.
Houston Astros
The Astros up and down season continues as they are on the upswing as we speak. They are on of the select teams that control their own fate in both the AL Wild Card and AL West for that matter.
They’ll get their chance at the Rangers coming up, but for now, they have a chance to really deliver the dagger to the Angels in the AL Wild Card race. They hold a 3.5 game lead on them, but will also have an eye on the Indians-Twins series as they lead Minnesota by 2.5 and Cleveland by 4.5.

They’ll send RH Lance McCullers to the mound here on Tuesday. The RH is struggling as he is 0-3 over his last 6.

He is 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA in 3 starts against the Angels.
