The 2024 season
Month by month, the streaks, and the record in the games that are argued about.
They finished first in the AL West, 3.5 games clear. They spent 69 of 187 days in first place, led by as many as 6.5 games on September 3 and were as far as 10 games back on June 18. Their best month was June at 17-8, their worst March/April at 10-19. The longest runs were an 8-game winning streak from August 6 to August 14 and a 5-game losing streak from April 20 to April 25.

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. 157 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 88-73, a .547 win rate, while their +91 run differential implies .560. That is essentially in line — the record reflects the run scoring.
