The Astros are in the ALCS for the seventh straight year. Who’d a thunk.
Astros fans: These are the good ole days. Cherish them.
But this season stands out from all the other ones (except the faux Covid season). The Astros were underdogs this year. They had to overcome massive losses to numerous injuries, only owned first place in the AL West for a few weeks and were in third place about as long as they were in first.
They ended up first with just 90 wins and won the division only by winning the tiebreaker with Arlington, who lost on their last game of the season.
