The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers saw their 2015 seasons end in the most cruel of ways. Houston was six outs away from the ALCS with a 6-2 lead in Game 4 … and were outscored 14-2 in the final 11 innings of their ALDS matchup with the Royals. The Rangers took the first two games of their ALDS matchup with the Blue Jays *in Toronto* … and proceeded to lose three in a row, culminating in a wild and heartbreaking Game 5 back at Rogers Centre.
But let’s be honest here – no one expected either team to be playoff-bound in 2015.
