Houston faces its own questions this offseason, namely how it fills the void left when Carlos Correa departs, but the remaining talent and presence of Dusty Baker in a thin AL West division push the Astros into the postseason. The Blue Jays will return a majority of their lineup and rotation next season, with at least one of Robbie Ray or Marcus Semien likely re-signing.

Prior to the season, a home-field advantage games 1, 2, 6, and 7 alternated every year between the leagues.
A rule change that year altered that approach, giving home-field advantage to the league that won that year's All-Star Game.
MLB changed the rules again in Now, the home-field advantage goes to the team that has the better overall regular-season record. The first team to win four games in the best-of-seven-game series becomes the Major League champion.
