We’ve gotten through 162 games and the post-season is set. The White Sox travel to Houston to take on the Astros in the ALDS. I seem to remember something good happening the last time these two teams met up in the post-season.
Normally, I would take a renewed view of the team records for the 30 playoff contests I have attended. Thanks to the corona virus pandemic that kept fans home last season, however, nothing has changed since I looked at those records last year. Instead, I figured it was worth our while to focus on the Division Series for the first time and see how teams have performed in the 16 games I’ve attended in that first playoff round from 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2015, 2016, and 2017.
