Are the Astros Still Kings of October, or is Their Era Over?

Still trying to buy themselves a playoff spot with 5 games left of the season to go, the Astros' decade reign over the postseason appears to slowly diminish as they drop Game 1 of their opener last night against the Athletics with a final score of 5-1. Having entered this crucial stage of the season now and comparing a few identical events to last season's early drop-off in the postseason, many would argue the Astros have entered a decline in the recent 2 seasons. Not liable to pull out of must-win situations similar to last night's game and still unable to put up runs with runners in scoring position, Dan and Ari evaluate last night's loss and where this now puts the organization moving forward, posing the question of what the future could begin to look like.
