Houston's been the AL favorite for most of the playoffs as you can see below, and they finally finished off New York in the ALCS. I was trying to recall an article I read about all the possible World Series matchups that would be rematches of classic World Series or other big NL playoff series (since Houston used to be in the NL and have history against St. Louis, Atlanta, etc.), and I found it at fivethirtyeight. This matchup got no mention other than in the notes at the end of the most likely first-time matchups, of which this had the highest chance. It's fun to have rematches, but we have to pepper in some first-time matchups too, otherwise these teams can never be part of a rematch down the line.
