In the end, it all comes down to this for the Houston Astros. It is, in many ways, a last stand.
It is fair to say, whatever your thoughts about the Astros, that the last decade for the franchise has been … eventful. They went from being a rebuilding team that lost 106-plus games in three straight years (2011-13), to the best team in baseball, to World Series champions to, ultimately, the team many opposing fans love to hate. Through it all, the Astros just kept playing baseball. And you know what else they did? They kept winning.
Now, tonight, after averting elimination with a convincing Game 5 win in Atlanta, they return to Minute Maid Park in what is starting to feel like a last stand, needing to win both Games 6 and 7 to secure the franchise’s second World Series title. This is not to say that the Astros are collapsing after this season, far from it: They still have Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez, Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker under club control for 2022 and beyond. (Though this could be it for impending free agents Carlos Correa, Justin Verlander and Zack Greinke.) But in a way, this does feel like the last stage in the decades-long Astros story, whether they win or lose this Series.
This is the first year that opposing fans have been in the stands to let Astros players know how they feel about them in the wake of the illegal sign-stealing scheme that was revealed just prior to the pandemic, and the team has responded to that adversity with a terrific season: an AL West title, an American League pennant, being two wins away from a World Series. But if the Astros really want to put the finishing touch on this wild decade, if they want to have their permanent stamp, there is no better way to do it than winning a second World Series.
By forcing the Series to come back to Houston, the Astros can close this run out on their own terms, in front of their own fans, the people who have always had their back. Maybe they’ll win the World Series again. Maybe they’ll come up short. But no matter what happens: They’ll close out this year at home, in the one place left in America where they will hear nothing but cheers. It’s as fitting a way, and place, for this Astros story to take its next turn as any.

An exclusive inside look with your free CNN account
🗳️ this expert leads the team that projects elections at CNN
“CNN projects Joseph R. Biden Jr. is elected the 46th president of the United States.”
A lot of work went into those words before they were spoken by Wolf Blitzer on November 7, 2020.
The act of calling an election at CNN is marshalled by a team of statisticians and political experts. Jennifer Agiesta, the director of polling and election analytics, leads that team.
“In some races, our projections really just come down to basic arithmetic,” Agiesta told Inside CNN. “The question of ‘Are there enough votes left for candidate B to catch candidate A?’ is a thing that we spend a lot of time trying to answer. And that’s just subtraction!”
Other times, it requires the full force of her team to discern the outcome of a race.
“You have this full range of what the decision desk does — of using super-sophisticated modeling and understanding and political knowledge, and also just is A bigger than B,” said Agiesta.
Agiesta, seen here on Nov. 7, 2020, working to call the presidential race.
Election prep at CNN starts well before election night, with data rehearsals beginning by late summer for major elections.
“The decision team is … practicing trying to make projections, seeing how some different scenarios might play out, anticipating what we think the night will look like,” said Agiesta.
Agiesta says getting election results is a time-intensive and expensive process. For most major elections, including last night’s, she and her team work with the National Election Pool — a consortium of CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS — to collect results.
“Every single county in the US has their own way of collecting votes and counting them,” Agiesta said. “There is no central repository for election results. If there were, that would make life much, much easier.”
Once those results start coming in, Agiesta and her team get to work on projecting a winner.
“We make a projection when we have statistical confidence that the numbers are pointing to a correct outcome. That’s based on a number of different models and based on historical data that we’re looking at in particular places,” said Agiesta. “I then have to convince our DC bureau chief, Sam Feist, that he should be confident in that projection as well. And when Sam is confident and I am confident, and the decision team is confident, then we will pass that through. Sam is the one who talks to everyone in the control room and coordinates the words coming out of Wolf’s [or Jake Tapper’s] mouth, putting the whole wheels in motion of CNN’s operation.”
In addition to leading CNN’s decision team, Agiesta heads up polling at CNN. She says she knew she wanted to make news polling the centerpiece of her career in the early 2000s. She was 24 at the time, working as the Voter News Service’s manager of surveys. It came to her like an epiphany while acting as notetaker for a group of pollsters.
“I was sitting in a room with a pollster from ABC, a pollster from CBS, a pollster from Fox and a pollster from CNN, listening to them all collectively write poll questions,” recalled Agiesta. “It was just this wonderful experience to see how they all do their jobs and the different approaches they had and I was like, ‘I want to be that when I grow up.’ That kind of set me off on a path.”
With 2021 voting now over, Agiesta and her team have their sights set on 2022, which may prove more difficult to call, due to redistricting in the wake of the 2020 census. All 435 seats in the US House of Representatives and 34 in the US Senate will be up for reelection next year.
“All of the House districts are going to be new and different, so learning all of those new districts takes a lot of time,” said Agiesta.
Her team is already hard at work, gathering data on how those new district lines could affect election results.
