No favors from the Rangers last night, Chapman with an epic blowup to give the M's bases loaded no outs before Crawford hit a 2 run walk-off single against Jonathan Hernandez.

There are 16 scenarios in play with this weekend's games, the Astros would make the playoffs in 11 of them and are guaranteed a spot in the dance if they just win the series:

Dear TigerFan91:

I realize this is not the place to ask, but that is a very cool and orderly presentation of the scenarios for the Astros, and I would like to humbly request the same for the Rangers, if available. I thank you ever so kindly for your consideration and courtesies extended.



Very truly yours,
TexasTiger33

I stole this from R/Astros who stole it from Twitter.

The scenarios for the Rangers are in the chart. Only 1 way they miss the playoffs and only 3 ways they don't win division.

Dear TexasTiger33,

I appreciate that simple math is hard for you Arlington boys. And normally, us jovial, level headed, unemotional, logical thinking and always fact-based Astros fans would normally be happy to oblige your request that clearly is out of your realm.

But due to your support of statements such as
quote:

Id love for Seattle to take that last spot from the trashstros.


Your request is hereby denied.

Go the way of Dusty.

Cheers,
Your friends in the DAT

That spreadsheet has been floating around the interwebz for a couple of days. There's not any Rangers fans out there who've done something similar?

The answers you seek are already in the Astros spreadsheet.

I know we’ve had some late nights baw but it’s not a hard chart to read

Only extra wrinkle for the Rangers is if we get swept and Houston gets 2/3 (this is the 3 way tie scenario), we can still grab the 6 seed if Toronto loses 2/3. Unlikely because they are playing Tampa who is locked into the 4 seed and will be resting guys.

I'm not saying if we win or lose tonight, but the pitching match up between us and them doesn't make me feel good.

We really don't have a chance. Par for the season is a great game followed up with a turd.

Goodbye Dana. Dusty is currently sending a telegraph to Bagwell and Reggie plotting how they can convince Crane to fire this guy. Tal Smith for GM. Now there's a baseball man!

Pucker factor in Arlington gonna be off the charts if the Rangers lose again tonight. Castillo and Kirby lined up for last 2 games.

On our end, tough matchup tonight, but if Dbacks clinch I'd think they'd sit Kelly tomorrow and we'd have a decided advantage on Saturday.

Probably all coming down to the last day.

Dana is ready to lead an offseason coup. Doing so off of missing the playoffs would be much easier.
