Houston will earn the No. 1 seed for the playoffs if it wins against the Arizona Diamondbacks and the New York Yankees lose to the Blue Jays in Toronto on Tuesday. The Astros should be able to take care of the 71-83 Diamondbacks at home in the first game of their series, but the Yankees will be sure to put up a fight after losing in extra innings on Monday.

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.
