2019 American League Division Series
The 2019 American League Division Series were two best-of-five series in Major League Baseball’s (MLB) 2019 postseason to determine the participating teams of the 2019 American League Championship Series. The three divisional winners, seeded first through third, and a fourth team—determined by the AL Wild Card Game—played in two series. These matchups were:
The team with the better regular season record (higher-seed) of each series hosted Games 1, 2, and (if necessary) 5, while the other team hosted Game 3 and (if necessary) 4.
For the third straight year, Major League Baseball sold presenting sponsorships to all of its postseason series. This ALDS was sponsored by Doosan and officially known as the 2019 American League Division Series presented by Doosan. The Yankees and Astros won their series to advance to the American League Championship Series.
The Astros defeated the Yankees in the ALCS, then lost the 2019 World Series to the National League champion Washington Nationals.
Seeds 1–3 were determined by regular season winning percentages among division-winning teams, having locked in as of the completion of games of September 27. The final seed was the winner of the American League Wild Card Game.
The Houston Astros, the American League West champion, 1 seed in AL, and had the best record, giving them home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, had home advantage against the fifth-seeded Tampa Bay Rays, who defeated the Oakland Athletics in the Wild Card Game. In the regular season, Tampa Bay won the season series against Houston 4–3, with three of their four wins coming at home to open the season.
The New York Yankees, winner of the American League East and 2 seed, had home advantage against the Minnesota Twins, the American League Central champions and 3 seed. The Yankees won four of six games against the Twins in the regular season. In a three-game series in Minneapolis in July, the teams combined for 57 total runs and 20 home runs.
The Yankees and Astros both appeared in the ALDS the prior season, while the Twins made their first ALDS appearance since 2010, and the Rays made their first ALDS appearance since 2013. Overall, this was the Yankees' 21st ALDS appearance, the Twins' seventh, the Rays' fifth, and the fourth for the Astros (who had seven NLDS appearances during their time in the National League). This was the second straight year the ALDS featured three 100-win teams.
