Both the Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers have 2-0 leads in their respective best-of-seven League Championship Series. Neither series is over, as its fully imaginable the Arizona Diamondbacks and/or Houston Astros have the option to win 4 of the following 5 to thieve the series, however I’m certain many are beginning to dream on a Phillies-Rangers World Series that hasn’t ever took place ahead of.
There’s a humorous twist in this, too. Remember, the Astros and Rangers tied for the AL West identify at 90 wins in the common season, however the Astros took the department identify because of having the tiebreaker. That additionally explains why the Astros hosted Games 1-2 in the ALCS and feature home-field advantage in that series.
The Phillies additionally gained precisely 90 video games themselves in the common season and grabbed home-field advantage in the NLCS. Again, the Rangers would not have it in the ALCS, such a lot of enthusiasts might consider this implies the Phillies would stay home-field advantage in a possible World Series matchup. That isn’t true.
In truth, the Rangers would get home-field advantage in the World Series after having been the street staff in the Wild Card Series, ALDS and ALCS. Why?
Well, the primary tiebreaker is head-to-head document. The Rangers gained all 3 video games in the season series with the Phillies. Those would be the primary 3 video games of the season.
Yes, a series from March 30-April 2 may just finally end up figuring out home-field advantage for a series that perhaps lasts into November.
The Phillies are a really perfect 6-0 at house this postseason after Tuesday’s night time 10-0 beatdown of the Diamondbacks in NLCS Game 2. The Rangers, in the meantime, are a really perfect 7-0 in the playoffs to this point. But they’ve performed only one sport at house (Game 3 in the ALDS vs. the Orioles). Texas will go back house to Globe Life Field for ALCS Games 3, 4 and 5 (if important) towards the Astros beginning on Wednesday.
