2 Oakland-No. NL batting champion Juan Soto and the World Series champion Washington Nationals missed the playoffs, as did three-time AL MVP Mike Trout. Though their regular season was spectacular, the postseason wasn't for the Mariners, who lost to the Yankees in the ALCS. Astros To Playoffs With Losing Record After Loss To Texas Texas Rangers shortstop Anderson Tejeda throws to first during the third inning of a baseball game against the Houston Astros in Arlington, Texas, Sunday, Sept. 27, 2020.
Yelich, the former MVP who hit .205 this year after winning the last two NL batting titles, and the Brewers happily posed for a team picture in their playoff-clinch T-shirts on the Busch Stadium field. On Wednesday, the NL gets going. “There’s no reason to apologize for getting into the playoffs.”. Martinez at the plate and Chris Sale on the mound, set a franchise record by winning 108 games and lost only three times in the postseason during its run to the World Series title. While the cross-town Cubs' title drought garnered most of the attention, the South Siders were determined to put an end to nearly nine decades of championship futility.
Led by a slugging lineup featuring Manny Machado, Nelson Cruz, Steve Pearce and Adam Jones, as well as star closer Zack Britton, the Orioles won the AL East for the first time since 1997, and they went on to reach the ALCS, where they were swept by the Royals. As it turned out, either team would’ve gotten in with a win. It was a tremendous late-season surge that took the Jays from 49-49 to 92-66.
This one makes sense, right? They instead finished at .367, better than only their 1972 and 1973 teams their first two seasons in Texas. And despite falling in seven games to the Giants a year before, the Royals finished the job this time, defeating the Mets in a five-game Fall Classic in which Salvador Perez, the final out of the '14 World Series, was named Series MVP.
Dodgers newcomer David Price, Cardinals reliever Jordan Hicks and White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech are among the players who opted out before the season began and will be absent in the playoffs. They got in as the second-place team in the AL West. Guess what?
On June 29, the club was 42-34, with a one-game lead in the NL Central. The Yankees won four World Series titles in a five-year span from 1996-2000. The Astros and first-year manager Dusty Baker also are in at 29-31. That run took Philadelphia from a seven-game deficit in the division to a seven-game lead over the Braves. St. Louis played a total of 58 games — it was prepared for a doubleheader in Detroit on Monday if needed to settle the playoff picture. The 2016 Rangers fell a victory short of tying a franchise record, going 95-67 for the regular season. The announcement Thursday came one day after the league said it hoped to play the game on Monday or Tuesday.
1 Dodgers-No. Odor had a three-run homer before rookie center fielder Leody Taveras’ two-run single in the fourth, the second game in a row Texas had a five-run inning.
“The record’s kind of irrelevant in my opinion,” he said. Entering the 2005 season, the White Sox hadn't won a World Series in 88 years. With the infusion of rookie slugger Cody Bellinger into an already deep and powerful lineup, the Dodgers reached the World Series, but lost in seven games to the Astros. “It could have been a different story if we’d have a full season,” the 29-year-old Angels star offered. Nothing else kooky in this 16-team tournament, though. From July 2-Sept. 7, the Cards won 47 of 60 and ran away with the NL Central. The Padres were in first place for all but three days from April 28 to Sept. 15, thanks in large part to a 38-22 stretch from June 18 to Aug. 26. The 2004 Cardinals were a juggernaut -- St. Louis won 105 games behind a loaded lineup that featured Albert Pujols, Jim Edmonds, Scott Rolen and Larry Walker.
Though the Nats wouldn't catch the Braves for the division title, they did secure a Wild Card spot and beat the Brewers to advance to the NLDS, where they stunned the Dodgers in five games. “You had to throw some of the expectations out the window not knowing what to expect after taking those couple weeks off and all those doubleheaders and so many new guys,” Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt said.

With a starting rotation led by Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos and Homer Bailey and a lineup featuring Joey Votto and Jay Bruce, Cincinnati had its sights set on October glory. Led by a young pitching staff that featured Josh Beckett and Dontrelle Willis, as well as a resurgent season from veteran catcher Ivan Rodriguez, the Marlins shocked the baseball world with a 91-win regular season and an epic October run that ended in a World Series victory over the vaunted Yankees. Baltimore achieved its highest victory total in 17 years by winning 96 games in 2014, and a big factor was the 41-19 stretch the O's had from July 22 to Sept. 24. Hall of Famer Roy Halladay had a tremendous season, throwing two no-hitters -- a perfect game on May 29 against the Marlins, and a no-hitter against the Reds in NLDS Game 1 that was the second no-hitter in postseason history after Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series.

ST. LOUIS (KTVI) -- It has been a wild ride for fans, but XFL football is on its way back. The season following the only World Series title in franchise history, the D-backs continued to look like a contender for a deep October run. The 2007 Rockies team that reached the World Series with a magical late-season run won 20 of 28 games in September before sweeping its way into the World Series, where it was swept by the Red Sox.
It’s fitting for 2020,” Yelich said Sunday. The 2015 Mets didn't win the World Series, but they got pretty close, losing a five-game Fall Classic to the Royals.

The only other team in major league history to reach the playoffs with a losing record was the 1981 Kansas City Royals — at 50-53 overall, they made it by winning the second half in a strike-split season. But the Brewers also made it when San Francisco lost 5-4 to San Diego for the last wild-card spot. Franchise record: 47-13 (1919)Best 2019 stretch: 31-29 (April 17-June 23). It followed a 93-69 regular season aided in a big way by this 60-game stretch from July 24 to Sept. 30. That club, which featured Jason Giambi, Johnny Damon and Miguel Tejada, as well as the starting-pitching trio of Mark Mulder, Tim Hudson and Barry Zito, went on to win 102 games, but lost a five-game ALDS to the Yankees after winning the first two games at Yankee Stadium. The drought ended in 2016, when the Cubs won 42 of 60 from April 5 to June 12, outscoring opponents by a whopping 153 runs and building a big lead in the NL Central.
