If there is such a thing as a "must win" in August, this is it. A week ago, the Astros were on a roll and had an 11-game lead. In the ensuing week, they've lost 4.5 games in the standings, and a loss today would put their lead at 5.5 with 37 to play. I'm not doom and gloom, this is just the reality. They have to stop the bleeding.
