Might the Houston Astros have a good luck charm in Aaron Watson? Simple answer: yes.

Last night, appearing in the MLB Playoffs for the first time since 2005, the Houston Astros handily defeated the Yankees of New York.

With the win the Astros advance to an American League Division Series with the Kansas City Royals.

Today the National League Wild Card game will be in Pittsburgh, as the Pirates take on the Chicago Cubs. The other AL Division Series will see the Toronto Blue Jays at home against Watson's other favored team, the Texas Rangers.

It should be noted that Watson posted this just two days before the lucky throwback pic. If the teams advance any further, Honky Tonk Kid, you're gonna have to pick a side.

 

BASEBALL in OCTOBER is the BEST! @mrsaaronwatson and Jolee Kate are getting the snacks ;)
