Not that history means anything but to you Blue Jays and Royals fans, here's something for you to ponder:
"History, however, would seem to be on Houston's side. In the first 20 years of the Division Series, which was added in 1995, the best-of-five event has required five games 23 times, and the visiting team in Game 5 has won 14.
And lately, the visitor has won 12 of 16 Division Series Game 5s dating back to 2002, and seven of the 10 Games 5s played the past five Octobers."
60/40 or 3 to 1 odds (if you really want to fool yourself) in favor of the Rangers and the Astros.

However the Astros were something like 1000 - 0 when they had a four run lead heading the 8th at home and how did THAT work out for them on Monday?
Right now it looks like ggiese's Chicago Cubs are going to be moving on, way to go George!
