EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Does ESPN NFL Analyst Keyshawn Johnson believe in Houston Texans QB Davis Mills? Is Lovie Smith the right coach for the Texans? Will Derek Stingley Jr have a big impact as a rookie? Keyshawn joined ESPN Houston's Jake Asman, Cody Stoots, and Brad Kellner in studio to discuss all things Texans, talk about his career, and much more on The Wheelhouse!
With only a dozen games left in the regular season, the playoff matchups the Astros could find themselves in are becoming clear.
It's looking more likely that Houston will be hosting either the Tigers, Twins, or Mariners.
Out of these three teams, which club gives the Astros the best chance to move on to the next round?
The Twins may have a winning record (4-2) against the 'Stros this season, but over the last 30 days, they haven't been playing well.
They are 28th in team ERA (4.96), and 21st in team OPS (.676). The Mariners and Tigers are much better than Minnesota in both categories. It's important to pay attention to how teams are playing as the regular season comes to an end.
But there are other factors to consider. Carlos Correa is back from injury, and the Twins have some big arms that have given the Astros trouble in the past.
This is one video you don't want to miss as we examine the Astros potential playoff matchups and try to determine which team would give Houston the best shot to advance to the divisional series.
