00:03 - All right, so Houston,
00:05 they had lost five of six to the Royals.
00:08 They lost two of three to them in Kansas City,
00:11 got swept by them at Minute Maid,
00:14 which I just thought was stunning.
00:16 And then they went up to Seattle
00:19 and I remember saying on the show,
00:21 look, they have championship DNA.
00:24 They have championship players, a championship manager.
00:28 They have all they need to go in there.
00:31 They are not afraid to go at it with Seattle,
00:35 even after losing five of six to the Royals.
00:37 And then they beat them both times.
00:39 And then to put icing on the cake,
00:41 didn't they get in a little bench clear last night saying,
00:44 we're not afraid of you, we'll fight you, we'll beat you.
00:48 And if we have to, we'll see you in the playoffs
00:50 and we'll do it again.
00:51 - Yeah, look, I thought Neres was over the top yesterday.
00:55 I don't know what was going on there.
00:57 He struck out Julio Rodriguez
00:58 and then walked right toward him.
00:59 I mean, you don't see that very often, Scott.
01:01 So I don't know that I'm on his side there,
01:04 but to your point,
01:06 the Astros have been battle tested through the years.
01:09 I honestly thought they were gonna win the division.
01:11 I did not think it would be Texas.
01:13 And again, they can still win the division
01:14 if Texas was to fall flat, ironically,
01:17 against Seattle this weekend.
01:19 But naturally it does appear like Houston
01:21 is gonna be one of the wild card teams
01:23 and hosting in the wild card.
01:25 And then you put nothing past them moving forward,
01:28 because again, they're gonna have Frambois Valdez.
01:30 Hypothetically, they'll have Justin Verlander,
01:32 who looks like he's sort of back to who he was too.
01:35 And they have really good hitting with Tucker and Altuve
01:37 and Jordan Alvarez as well.
01:39 So there'll be very dangerous going into the post season.
01:43 And again, their odds are extremely good yesterday.
01:45 It just shows you how crazy one game
01:48 can change the odds significantly.
01:49 It was about even with Seattle and Houston
01:52 going into the week.
01:53 And then that changed over two wins out of three
01:56 against the Mariners.
