Home games for the top seeds in round 1. 

Neutral sites in Houston and Dallas for the NLDS and NLCS. 

Neutral sites in LA and SD for the ALDS and ALCS. 

World Series is in Dallas.

Home games this week.   Neutral sites for division and LCS rounds and WOrld Series.   I think the two Texas stadiums and maybe one in California?

The Brewers and the Astros are the first teams ever with a losing record to qualify for the post-season (they both finished at 29-31.)

 

The 1973 Mets had the worst record ever for a team to make it to the World Series (82-79 with 1 Rain-out.

The 2006 Cardinals had the worst record ever for a team to win the World Series (83-78 with 1 Rain-out.

George Breett and his 1981 teammates would disagree with this post.

While the Royals did qualify for the 1981 post-season with an overall losing record, they did not qualify based on that losing record.

They qualified by going 30-23 in the second half of the split-season, after having gone 20-30 in the first half.

That was also the season in which the Cincinnati Reds had the best overall record in the Major Leagues in the 2 combined split-seasons ........ but did not qualify for the postseason.

The Braves Reds series what I am most interested.  The Reds have Bauer and Gray 1-2 which is tough draw.  Bauer will try to pitch game 1 and 3 if it were up to him. The Braves have amazing offense so should be good matchup Reds starters vs the Braves power.  The Reds May have the worst offense to be in playoffs.
