How does the new Division Series schedule affect our recent dominance in the ALDS?

G1 Tuesday HTX G2 Thursday HTX G3 Saturday SEA G4* Sunday SEA G5* Monday HTX

Day off in Houston between G1/G2, travel day to SEA, potentially 3 games back to back to back including traveling back to Houston if necessary and playing G5. The schedule is like this due to the expanded playoffs and new Wildcard format so advancing WC teams wouldn’t be gassed after potentially playing all weekend.

Doesn’t matter in the long-run but thought it was interesting as it’s a definite change from previous years. The Astros haven’t lost G1 or G2 of an ALDS since 2015.
