Houston Astros right-handed Mike Burrows was named the biggest disappointment in 2026.

Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves meet in MLB Wild Card series before Chicago White Sox play Houston Astros in second play-off match.

Having dropped the first game of their Wild Card series against the Chicago White Sox yesterday, the Houston Astros are one defeat away from elimination and from tying those self-same White Sox for one of the longest home postseason losing streaks in Major League Baseball history.

The Chicago White Sox, for the first time since 2005's World Series title, have won a playoff series. The Pope's favorite team defeated the Houston Astros 7-3 on Wednesday, sweeping the Wild Card Round matchup and setting up a showdown against the Cleveland Guardians in the ALDS.

The Houston Astros clinched the AL West at 81-81, becoming the worst division-winning team in Major League Baseball history over a full season.

The Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros will meet in Game 2 of their AL Wild Card Series on Wednesday at Daikin Park, with Chicago looking to close out the series and Houston fighting to keep its season alive.

After years of holding on, the Astros have reached a breaking point and can no longer outrun the changes their roster demands.

Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper powered the Philadelphia Phillies past the Tampa Bay Rays to clinch a wild-card berth on the season's final day.
