On Friday, in front of the home crowd at Chase Field, the Arizona Diamondbacks have a chance to do something no team has done since 2016.
Prevent the Houston Astros from reaching the playoffs.
While the Astros’ official dynasty with six consecutive ALCS appearances didn’t kick off until 2017, they haven’t missed a playoff run since their reign began in 2016.
Over the past seven seasons, the Astros have made it to the ALCS six times, the World Series four times, and have won two rings.
