 Following a two-game sweep of the Rangers, Houston now has 16 series sweeps this season, the most by an American League team since 2001, when the A's had 17 and the Mariners had 16.

 Houston has gone 30-5 at home against the AL West this season. However, the team slashed .308/.381/.570 in the first 30 such games and .239/.326/.497 in the last five such games.

 The Angels lost two of three to the Yankees in New York, scoring just four runs in the series. In September, the Angels rank last in MLB in runs per game (3.00) and 29th in ERA (6.00).

 David Fletcher has 18.1 percent of his team's hits in September (21/116), the highest percentage in MLB. His .347 batting average against the Astros is second highest in MLB (min. 50 PA; Mark Canha - .353).

 Alex Bregman has 110 walks and 80 strikeouts this season -- the last American Leaguers to finish a season with at least 30 more walks than strikeouts were Joe Mauer (2008) and John Olerud (2002).

 There are four qualifying Astros hitters with a .290+ batting average and .900+ OPS (and Brantley is close to being a fifth). The Astros and Red Sox both have four such hitters in 2019 -- the last team to have as many such players was the 1953 Brooklyn Dodgers, who had five.

HP - Blakney, 1B - Fairchild, 2B - Danley, 3B - Estabrook

The Oakland Athletics postponed the inevitable Friday night with their victory over the Texas Rangers, merely delaying what will soon serve as a coronation for the Houston Astros.
Houston clinched a share of its third consecutive American League West pennant with a 6-4 victory over the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Friday in the opener of a three-game set.

Astros face Angels on cusp of AL West title

HOUSTON (AP)  Astros starter Wade Miley couldn't break out of his recent rut on Saturday night and Houston's magic number remained stuck at one.
The Astros remained just shy of their third straight AL West title, wasting a chance to clinch when Miley was hit hard in an 8-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels that ended a six-game winning streak.
