The MLB American League will offer such an amazing Saturday’s night schedule, and one of the stellar matches corresponds to the clash between Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals, teams that still are on their way to the playoffs due to the great performances that they’ve had during the whole season.

First of all, Houston Astros are the AL West Division leaders, but their 4.5 games advantage over Seattle Mariners doesn’t guarantee anything to them with more than 30 games to be played in the season yet. However, they have some of the best players of the season, and this can be noted with Jose Altuve’s performance, who has scored 77 runs and leads the hits stats of the Astros with 159, as well as Hunter Brown, who has achieved 155 strikeouts during the season.

On Kansas City Royals’ case, this team has proven to be one of the biggest surprises of the current season, because even when they aren’t the AL Central Division leaders, their amazing performance has been enough to keep them only 1.5 games behind Cleveland Guardians, so their chances of getting into the playoffs are very high. Also, Bobby Witt Jr. is having such an amazing batting performance, scoring 114 runs, 28 home runs and 185 hits throughout the season.
