ALDS
NEW YORK YANKEES 3
MINNESOTA TWINS 0
New York had the better team and dominated accordingly.
HOUSTON ASTROS 3
TAMPA BAY RAYS 2
Houston were the better team and should’ve won easier.
NLDS
ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 3
ATLANTA BRAVES 2
Atlanta were the better team but it was close and luck was the deciding factor, as St. Louis won 2 games by a single run, and the series by a single game. Freddie Freeman was apparently also injured.
WASHINGTON NATIONALS 3
LOS ANGELES DODGERS 2
It was actually very close between them and Washington may have actually been better despite LA having the better record. The series came down to luck and LAgavibg a bad manager in Dave Roberts, with Washington winning by one game on a grand slam home run.
