The Houston Astros finished the 2024 season with an 88-73 record, securing first place in the AL West for the fourth consecutive year. Despite a strong offensive lineup featuring Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker, injuries plagued the team, particularly affecting Tucker's playing time.

However, the Astros faced disappointment in the playoffs, being swept by the Detroit Tigers in the Wild Card Series. Key players like Josh Hader struggled, and the team must navigate a challenging offseason with significant payroll commitments and the potential loss of star player Alex Bregman to free agency.
