The Rangers swept the AL's two winningest teams before rallying to dethrone the Astros. Here's how Texas went from wild card to World Series participant.
By winning Games 6 and 7 of the ALCS, the Rangers have tallied more victories in elimination games this year alone than they had in their entire franchise history.
Bochy is now 6-0 in elimination games in his postseason career, the most wins without a loss by any manager inplayoff history. On Monday, he also became the first manager to win a league championship series with three different franchises. Eovaldi was an All-Star and would have been in the Cy Young Award conversation if not for a midseason forearm strain. He took some lumps working his way back to form in the second half but has found a different gear in the postseason, where he tends to thrive. Eovaldi has 28 strikeouts and two walks this October, lowering his career postseason ERA to 2.87 in 69 innings.deemed unworthy for their October rotation a year ago has a 2.38 ERA in four starts this postseason.
The worst news for the Rangers? No matter which team they face, they have home-field advantage in the World Series.
