Fresh off a dominant regular season, Houston's elite offense carried over into the postseason as the Astros moved on to the ALCS.
Just about any way you slice it, the 2017 season has already been a successful one for the Houston Astros.
While the Cleveland Indians used an incredible second half to capture the American League's best record, Houston manager A.J. Hinch steered his club to a 101-61 record, which is their best regular-season performance this century. It was the first time Houston produced a team with 90-plus wins since 2004, and if we use win-loss record as the barometer, the only other Astros team that performed better than this group during a regular season was the 1998 squad, which produced a 102-60 mark.
