The AL West division is heating up, with the Houston Astros sitting in a tight race as the season progresses. Jose Altuve recently expressed surprise at the lack of a contract extension for Jeremy Peña, who has been on fire at the plate, batting .391 over his last six games with an impressive OBP of .417 and an OPS of .895. Peña has stepped into the leadoff role and excelled since Altuve's move to the outfield. The Astros are eager to secure Peña long-term, as he plays a pivotal role in their success, continuing the franchise's winning legacy.
