Prove it. Define luck. As in Astros?
Came from 19-31. That's a pretty rare season. Guys like Cabrera and Eaton having their best seasons of their late career. Hudson was a nice acquisition and was having a great year, but a meh career to that point. Oh, and he comes here in the nick of time as Doo breaks down. Trent Grisham's error in the wild card game. That's not quite an Ozzie Smith error, but the dude is an awesome defensive outfielder. Last good year of Anibal Sanchez's career allowing you to pitch him in the playoffs. Zim healthy. That's a lot of good fortune. Toss in beating two 100+ win teams in the LCS and World Series, and you have some pretty long odds. I'm not sure they are a playoff team without a bunch of old guys playing well beyond expectations. They did have a lot of top end talent (soto, turner, rendon, and 3 horses in the rotation in their prime), but the rest of that lineup had almost no depth and relied on exceptional years from old guys.
