The Houston Astros are rolling as October and the MLB postseason approaches. Houston has already locked up the AL West, but it now has its sights set on the No. 1 overall seed in the American League.
The Astros can clinch the AL's top spot on Tuesday with a little help from the Toronto Blue Jays.

New York currently checks in with a 94-59 record heading into Tuesday's action. The Astros sit atop the league with a 101-53 mark, which trails only the Los Angeles Dodgers (106-47) for the best in the majors.
