The ALCS is set, with two very different stories being represented. How do the underdog Rangers and the Astros compare? We go through a few key stats.
are back in the ALCS for the first time since 2011 on the back of a dynamic offense and pitching that has exceeded expectations and overcome injuries in the playoffs. They will need to overcome more than that, though, as they posted just a 4-9 record against the Stros in the regular season..251: This series will likely come down to who can pitch better, but in the games they have met recently, each team has produced similar offensive results, with each producing a .251 batting average.
.667: When looking at ALCS history, the Rangers and Astros are two of the best to play in it. As a matter of fact, Texas' .667 win percentage is the best among all teams with a minimum of 10 games played.each had a great start to the postseason, producing the most homers by a duo so far this playoff . In fact, their seven home runs are as many as the entire Texas team has so far in the playoffs.
7: Houston is no stranger to being one of the last four teams alive in the playoffs, as this is their seventh consecutive appearance in the ALCS. That improves on the American League record they set last year and is now just one behind theowns the most homers in the field with eight. That is, of course, due in part to the 2020 season when the playoff games were held at neutral sites and allowed him to play 16 games there prior to this year.
