cheating aside, you have to admit the Astros were a more complete team than the Tribe. Bigger market, bigger payroll.

I hated Cleveland's approach to hitting in the 2018 playoffs and I think their very poor showing was the result of that. They swung freely and for the fences, rarely worked the count, and ignored small-ball scoring. Astros didn't have to cheat to win. But ... did they anyhow?

How many times did Oakland or Anaheim play them? 19?
