Gabe Lacques, USA Today
After suffering a 3-1 loss to the Houston Astros in Game 2 of their American League Division Series, the Indians are faced with a significant task: Win three consecutive games against the 103-win Astros.
They’re in this hole mostly for two reasons: The dominance of the Astros’ starting pitching, and the failings of their relief corps.

The defending World Series champion Houston Astros are once again AL West champions.
Tuesday night, the Astros clinched their second straight AL West title thanks to their win over the Blue Jays (HOU 4, TOR 1) and the Mariners' walk-off win over the Athletics (SEA 10, OAK 8). The A's have been baseball's hottest team for a good three months now and at one point pulled even with the 'Stros in the AL West, but alas, they couldn't claim the division crown.
Mariners utility man Chris Herrmann swatted a walk-off home run against the A's to clinch the AL West title for the Astros on Tuesday.

The Astros reached 100 wins for the second year in a row, and third time in team history, and reduced their magic number to win their second consecutive American League West title to one with a 4-1 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday night at Rogers Centre.
"It's hard to win in this league in general," Astros manager AJ Hinch said. "It's really hard to win in this league when everybody expects it and you have such a small margin for error when there's a reaction every time you don't win. To be at 100 and climbing is remarkable for this team, and we should be very proud."
