 The Astros took a 2-0 series lead, recording a 1.50 ERA and 12.0 strikeouts per nine innings through two games in Houston. The only other two teams to match or better those two numbers through two postseason games in a season were the 1981 Yankees and the 1929 Athletics. Historically, in best-of-five series, teams with a 2-0 advantage have won the series 87.3 percent of the time (69/79).

 Dating back to the 2017 ALDS, the Indians are batting .132 over their current five-game postseason losing streak. That is the second-lowest batting average by any team ever in the postseason over a five-game span (Twins - .123 from 1965-1969).

 In seven career playoff starts, Dallas Keuchel is 4-2 with a 2.66 ERA, while averaging 10.18 strikeouts per nine innings pitched. Only two other pitchers in history have averaged over 10 strikeouts per nine with a sub-2.75 ERA through seven career playoff starts: Bob Gibson (1964-68) and Mike Mussina (1996-2001).

 Mike Clevinger was 10-1 (.909) with a 2.11 ERA this season in starts directly following a team loss. Among pitchers with at least 10 starts following a team loss this season, Clevinger's winning percentage ranks first in baseball, and his ERA ranks fourth.

 George Springer is riding an eight-game postseason hitting streak dating back to Game 2 of the 2017 World Series, slashing .424/.500/1.061 with six home runs. Alex Bregman has played six career games in the Divisional Series, hitting four home runs. Only Juan Gonzalez and Ken Griffey Jr. (5) had more through as many career games in the Divisional round.

 Since 2017, Jose Ramirez is batting .074 (2-for-27) with zero extra-base hits, one run batted in and 10 strikeouts over seven postseason games. Francisco Lindor is the only Indian this postseason with multiple hits (2), while the rest of the Cleveland lineup is a combined 4-for-52 (.077) with zero extra-base hits.
