The Tampa Bay Rays are playing in the American League Championship Series. The Pittsburgh Pirates are at home. In a year where over half the teams in the sport made it into the playoffs, the Pirates hopes were dashed early on. Nobody expected the Pirates to do much this year. Many projections for the team ranged in the realm of the 26-28 win territory, with some going so low as 22. The former category might’ve meant the Pirates were on the right track. The latter track would’ve just been a bad team that might — or might not — have clinched the overall number one pick.
