Earl's MLB power ranking · Week 27, 2026

Houston sits at 19th with a -0.149 rating, essentially a coin-flip team on a neutral field, and that 81-81 record confirms it. The 0.562 jump from last week is the real signal here: they're trending up hard, yet the market still prices them 0.26 runs worse than this rating, so there's a modest buy-low window if the surge is legit. The catch is a -0.253 strength of schedule, meaning that recent run came against soft competition, so I'd want confirmation before treating this as a genuine breakout rather than a schedule mirage.
