The Astros’ latest postseason collapse has renewed calls for a serious offseason review: despite strong regular-season power, Houston has endured an extended home losing streak and struggled to produce timely offense in recent playoff appearances. The Mets, meanwhile, missed the playoffs for a second straight year and finished last in the NL East despite MLB’s highest payroll, with failed roster decisions and widespread injuries contributing to a disappointing season. In a striking turnaround, the White Sox returned to the postseason after three consecutive 100-loss seasons and entered their first home playoff game since 2021 leading the Guardians 2-0 in their division series, giving fans a chance to see the team make history.
