Its a question of when rather than will the Indians run end. The part that is important is whether they return to winning afterwards or do they spiral into dysfunction. And how long does it last.
Lets see how they handle the emotional let down. The Astros took one when the team failed to do anything at the deadline and it showed on the field. We have seen things like this happen before.
I expect they come back to normalcy (which is still pretty good) and the race for the AL goes down to the last weekend.
That is a good a guess as any. The two teams trajectories very well could meet in the middle somewhere.
The Indians and the Astros both have worse records at home than on the road. Let them have home field advantage.
If that were the only consequence, then sure. But it also changes the seeding and I REALLY dont want to face Boston in the first round.
I'm actually hoping yanks pull ahead of red sox if we cant catch indians. It's gonna be kind of weird if we play the red sox 3 times just to play them again for 5 lol
