Previewing the ALDS

So the Astros got to celebrate on an opponent's field twice in three days - firstly cementing their place in the playoffs on the last game of the season, then winning a one game loser-go-home Wild Card fixture against the Yankees. I thought that the Astros were fairly "meh" in Game 162, and they certainly made plenty of mistakes that contributed to the opposition run total. It is almost possible to argue that the Astros won Game 162 by a score of 5-3, because they pretty much scored two of Arizona's runs for them. I mean, an opposition runner reaching on a catching error, then being balked home from third should really score a point in the Astros' run column rather than the D-Backs - the Astros did 90% of the heavy lifting for that run to score, after all.
