Houston Astros: Team Profile

The Houston Astros have been viewed as one of the most dominant forces in the MLB postseason over the last decade.

Founded in 1962, the club has built a strong winning culture highlighted by multiple American League pennants and World Series titles.

Over the years, the Astros have experienced success across multiple eras and leagues throughout franchise history. The Houston Astros are the only franchise in MLB history to win division titles in three different divisions (NL West, NL Central, and AL West).

The Astros transitioned to the American League in 2013, a move that helped begin a new chapter for the franchise. Since joining the AL, the Astros have become one of the most dominant teams in the division winning the World Series in 2017 and 2022.

The Houston Astros are in the AL West division, where they compete against the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, Athletics, and LA Angels.
