The 2022 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished first in the AL West, 16 games clear. They spent 158 of 182 days in first place, led by as many as 18 games on September 27 and were as far as 3.5 games back on May 1. Their best month was May at 21-8, their worst March/April at 11-10. The longest runs were an 11-game winning streak from May 2 to May 13 and a 4-game losing streak from April 19 to April 23. They were 55-26 at home and 51-30 on the road, 28-16 in one-run games and 42-27 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 21-5 at the White Sox on August 18; the heaviest defeat, 11-1 at the Mariners on April 15.

The players whose season belongs to this club, by position and then by dbWAR. A player traded mid-season is listed with the club he played most of his games for, so a deadline arrival may appear on his other club’s page instead.
Each rectangle is a player, sized by his share of the team's hits; darker means a larger share. Top 30 contributors. Select a different statistic above, or click a player for his page.
Day and night divide the home schedule, and so do weekend and weekday. The road line is a different question.

Announced gate — tickets distributed, which is the figure every reference publishes and is not the same as people through the turnstile. A game the feed reports no gate for is left out rather than counted as empty. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

By season
Regulation games only, in minutes. 183 minutes this season.
Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.
Record versus run differential
Houston Astros are 106-56, a .654 win rate, while their +219 run differential implies .656. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
