The Astros have made it at least as far as the American League Championship Series in each of the last seven seasons, and they won it all in 2017 and 2022. As of this writing, the Astros are 7-19 and in last place in the AL West, which, of course, puts them behind even the A's. It is the first season in a long time without skipper Terry Francona at the helm for Cleveland.
