2015 Major League Baseball postseason
The 2015 Major League Baseball postseason was the playoff tournament of Major League Baseball for the 2015 season. The winners of the Division Series would move on to the League Championship Series to determine the pennant winners that face each other in the World Series.
In the American League, the Kansas City Royals made their second straight appearance, the New York Yankees returned for the first time since 2012, the Texas Rangers returned for the fourth time in six years, the Houston Astros made their first postseason appearance since 2005 (their first as a member of the American League), and the Toronto Blue Jays ended over two decades of futility by clinching their first postseason appearance since 1993, ending what was the longest postseason appearance drought in Major League Baseball and all four major North American sports leagues. This was Kansas City’s last postseason appearance until 2024.
In the National League, the St. Louis Cardinals made their fifth straight postseason appearance, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates made their third straight appearances, the Chicago Cubs returned for the first time since 2008, and the New York Mets made their first appearance since 2006. As of 2026, this remains Pittsburgh’s most recent appearance in the postseason, as they now hold the second longest postseason drought in the majors behind only the Los Angeles Angels.
The postseason began on October 6, and ended on November 1, with the Royals defeating the Mets in five games in the 2015 World Series. It was the first title in thirty years for the Royals.
The following teams qualified for the postseason:
This was the first postseason meeting between the Astros and Yankees. Dallas Keuchel pitched six innings of shutout ball as the Astros shut out the Yankees 3–0 to advance to the ALDS. This was the first postseason series win by the Astros since winning the National League pennant in 2005. This would ultimately be Alex Rodriguez’s final postseason game.
The Astros’ 2015 Wild Card victory continued a streak of playoff success for Houston-based teams over their New York City counterparts, as the NBA’s Houston Rockets previously defeated the New York Knicks in the 1994 NBA Finals, and then the Astros would defeat the Yankees again in the ALCS in 2017, 2019, and 2022.
The Cubs shut out the Pirates 4–0 to advance to the NLDS. This was the second straight year the Pirates were shutout in the Wild Card Game.
