The Braves close out their regular season with a high-stakes trip to Houston, where they face the Astros—currently leading their AL West despite a losing record. Atlanta’s Tyler Mahle, electric since the trade deadline with a 1.25 ERA, plans to intentionally walk Yordan Alvarez and dominate the rest. The Astros counter with solid starter Peter Lambert (3.71 ERA). Meanwhile, the Braves hold a four-game division lead over the Phillies, needing just five wins—or five Philly losses—to clinch the NL East. With the Phillies already down 1-0 to the Mets, this weekend could be pivotal. First pitch: 8:10 PM ET. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Josh Hader, Houston Astros closer and community powerhouse, is once again nominated for the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award—baseball’s highest honor for humanitarian impact. Alongside his wife Maria, Hader launched “Hader’s Heart” in 2024, offering foster kids and homeless youth unforgettable game-day experiences, shopping sprees, and mentorship through partnerships with local nonprofits. On the field, Hader’s elite pitching—despite a shoulder injury—has been vital to the Astros’ playoff push. The winner will be announced during the World Series, chosen by a panel including Roberto Clemente’s children and MLB legends.

Carlos Correa’s season is over — and it’s a gut punch for the Astros, who reacquired him last year hoping he’d be their playoff catalyst. After battling lingering ankle soreness that wouldn’t budge despite rehab efforts, the 31-year All-Star shut it down to prioritize long-term health ahead of 2027. But here’s the twist: the Astros are actually playing their best ball without him. Since Correa’s last game in early May, they’ve surged to 62-53 while holding the AL West lead. Jeremy Peña’s nearing another 20-homer season, Isaac Paredes has been unstoppable lately, and even utility man Nick Allen is having a career year. The team’s depth has stepped up big time — and now they’ll have to keep doing just that without their star shortstop.
