The 2017 Major League Baseball postseason was the playoff tournament of Major League Baseball for the 2017 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. This was the first edition of the postseason in which home field advantage in the World Series was awarded to the team with the better regular season record, rather than the winner of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

Contents

In the American League, the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox returned for the second year in a row, the Houston Astros and New York Yankees returned for the second time in three years, and the Minnesota Twins made their first appearance since 2010. This was the first of eight straight postseason appearances for the Astros from 2017 to 2024. It was also the first of six consecutive appearances for the Yankees from 2017 to 2022.

In the National League, the Washington Nationals returned for the fourth time in six years, the Los Angeles Dodgers made their fifth straight appearance, the Chicago Cubs made their third straight appearance, the Arizona Diamondbacks made their first appearance since 2011, and the Colorado Rockies returned for the first time since 2009. This was the first postseason since 2003 to feature three 100-win teams.

The postseason began on October 3, and ended on November 1, with the Astros defeating the Dodgers in seven games in the 2017 World Series. It was the Astros' first title in franchise history.

Playoff seeds

After the end of the 2016 season, MLB changed the format of the World Series. Instead of home field advantage being awarded to the team from the league that won the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, home field advantage in the World Series was determined by the team with the better regular season record.

This was the fourth postseason meeting between the Indians and Yankees (1997, 1998, 2007). The Yankees overcame a two games to none series deficit to upset the defending American League champion Indians and advance to the ALCS for the fourth time in nine years.

Trevor Bauer and the Indians’ bullpen shut out the Yankees in Game 1. Game 2 was an offensive grind between both teams that went into extra innings, and once again the Indians prevailed as Yan Gomes batted in Austin Jackson in the bottom of the thirteenth to take a 2–0 series lead headed to the Bronx. Masahiro Tanaka outdueled Andrew Miller in a pitchers duel in Game 3 as the Yankees got on the board in the series. In Game 4, the Yankees jumped out to a big lead early and held it to send the series back to Cleveland for a decisive fifth game. Didi Gregorius hit two home runs in a 5-2 Yankees win in Game 5 to close out the series.

Both teams would meet again in the Wild Card round in 2020, the ALDS in 2022, and the ALCS in 2024, with all three being won by the Yankees.

This was the first postseason meeting between the Astros and Red Sox. The Astros won the series in four games to advance to their first ALCS and first LCS overall since 2005.

Justin Verlander pitched six solid innings as the Astros blew out the Red Sox in Game 1. Carlos Correa and George Springer ignited a spark in the Astros’ offense in Game 2 as they blew out the Red Sox again to take a 2–0 series lead headed to Fenway Park. The Red Sox blew out the Astros in Game 3 to get on the board in the series. In Game 4, Verlander outdueled Chris Sale again as the Astros won by one run to close out the series.

Both teams would meet again in the ALCS in 2018 and 2021, with the Red Sox winning the former and the Astros winning the latter.

National League Division Series

(1) Los Angeles Dodgers vs. (4) Arizona Diamondbacks

Los Angeles won the series, 3–0.

This was the first postseason meeting in the history of the Diamondbacks–Dodgers rivalry, also known as the I-10 Rivalry. The Dodgers swept the Diamondbacks to advance to the NLCS for the second year in a row and fifth time in nine years.

The Dodgers took Game 1 despite four different players on the Diamondbacks hitting home runs - A. J. Pollock, J. D. Martinez, Ketel Marte, and Jeff Mathis. Game 2 was more of the same - the Dodgers once again defeated the D-Backs in an offensive shootout despite not hitting any home runs to take a 2–0 series lead headed to Phoenix. In Game 3, Yu Darvish outdueled Zack Greinke as the Dodgers won 3-1 to finish the sweep.

Both teams would meet again in the NLDS in 2023, where the Diamondbacks, as part of a Cinderella run as the NL’s sixth seed, swept the Dodgers in one of the biggest upsets in postseason history before coming up short in the World Series.

(2) Washington Nationals vs. (3) Chicago Cubs

The Cubs narrowly defeated the Nationals in five games to return to the NLCS for the third year in a row.

Kyle Hendricks outdueled Stephen Strasburg as the Cubs shut out the Nationals in Game 1. The Nationals evened the series in Game 2 as Anthony Rendon, Bryce Harper, and Ryan Zimmerman all homered for the Nats. In Chicago for Game 3, it was another pitchers duel between both teams’ bullpens, and the Cubs would prevail to regain the series lead. Then, in Game 4, Strasburg pitched seven shutout innings in a 5-0 Nationals win to send the series back to the nation’s capital. The Cubs ultimately prevailed in an offensive shootout in Game 5 to close out the series.

The Nationals would earn redemption in 2019, as they ran the table and won the World Series over the Houston Astros in seven games as the fourth seed in the National League.

This was the second postseason meeting between the Yankees and Astros. In an ALCS where neither team won a road game, the Astros defeated the Yankees in seven games to advance to the World Series for the first time since 2005 (in the process denying a rematch of the 1981 World Series between the Yankees and Dodgers).

Ken Giles held off a late rally by the Yankees in the ninth to win Game 1 for the Astros. In Game 2, Justin Verlander pitched a five-hit complete game as the Astros won by a 2–1 score again to go up 2–0 in the series headed to the Bronx. Then, the Yankees responded. In Game 3, CC Sabathia pitched six innings of shutout ball as the Yankees blew out the Astros to get on the board in the series. In Game 4, the Astros held a 4–0 lead after the top of the seventh, but the Yankees scored six unanswered runs to win and even the series. Masahiro Tanaka pitched seven shutout innings in Game 5 as the Yankees won 5–0 to go up 3–2 in the series headed back to Houston. In Game 6, Verlander threw seven shutout innings in a blowout win for the Astros. Charlie Morton and Lance McCullers Jr. helped shut out the Yankees in Game 7 to clinch the pennant for the Astros.

The Astros returned to the ALCS the next year, but they fell in five games to the eventual World Series champion Boston Red Sox.

Both the Astros and Yankees would meet again in the ALCS in 2019 and 2022, with both being won by the Astros.

This was the third postseason meeting between the Dodgers and Cubs, and a rematch of the previous year's NLCS. The Dodgers defeated the defending World Series champion Cubs in five games to return to the World Series for the first time since 1988.

In Game 1, the Dodgers scored five unanswered runs across the fifth, sixth and seventh innings as they overcame an early 2–0 Cubs lead to win. In Game 2, the Dodgers prevailed off a walk-off three-run home run from Justin Turner in the bottom of the ninth. Turner's three-run home run was the Dodgers' first walk-off homer in the postseason since Kirk Gibson's two-run home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. [41] When the series shifted to Chicago, Yu Darvish struck out seven in 61⁄3 innings of Game 3 as the Dodgers won 6–1 to take a commanding three games to none series lead. In Game 4, behind Javier Báez’s two home runs, the Cubs avoided a sweep. However, the defending champions were ultimately eliminated in a blowout loss in Game 5. This was the third straight season in which the National League pennant was won at Wrigley Field.

The Dodgers would win the pennant again the next year over the Milwaukee Brewers in seven games before falling in the World Series again.

As of 2025, this is the last postseason appearance outside of the divisional round for the Cubs.

This was the second postseason meeting between the Dodgers and Astros. They had previously met in the NLDS in 1981, which the Dodgers won in five games en route to a World Series title. The Astros defeated the Dodgers in seven games to capture their first World Series title in franchise history, becoming the first team from Texas to accomplish such a feat.

The Dodgers convincingly took Game 1 in the shortest World Series game since 1992 at 2 hours and 28 minutes. Game 2 was an eleven-inning slugfest which the Astros won 7–6, as both teams had four different players hit home runs. Game 2 was the first World Series game won by the Astros in franchise history. When the series moved to Houston, the Astros took a 2–1 series lead with a two-run victory in Game 3. Game 3 was marred by controversy, as Houston's Yuli Gurriel made a racially insensitive gesture in the dugout at Los Angeles' Yu Darvish after his home run. He stretched the sides of his eyes and mouthing the Spanish word chinito, which translates to "little Chinese Boy"; Darvish is from Japan. [49] [50] Gurriel apologized, and said that anyone from Asia is called a chino in Cuba, although he acknowledged knowing that the term was offensive in Japan from having played there. [49] [51] As a result, Rob Manfred, the Commissioner of Baseball, suspended Gurriel for the first five games of the 2018 Major League Baseball season without pay, but allowed him to continue playing in the World Series. [52] [53] The Dodgers rallied late in Game 4 by scoring six runs in two of the final three innings to even the series at two.

The series was notable for its Game 5, which saw a record six game-tying home runs and 25 combined runs scored. The six game-tying home runs in the series to this point is the most for any World Series on record. [54] This World Series set a new record for most players to hit a home run (14 to date in the World Series). With the teams combining to score 25 runs throughout the game, this was the highest scoring World Series game since the Florida Marlins defeated the Cleveland Indians 14–11 in Game 3 of the 1997 World Series. [55]

When the series shifted back to Los Angeles, Tony Watson defeated Justin Verlander in a pitchers' duel as the Dodgers won 3–1 in Game 6 to force a seventh game. However, George Springer helped carry the Astros to victory in Game 7 with his fifth home run of the series.

This was the first championship won by a Houston-based team since 1995, when the NBA’s Houston Rockets repeated as NBA champions. As of 2025, the 2017 Astros remain the most recent American League team to win a World Series Game 7, as the next two Fall Classics that went the full seven games (2019, 2025) were won by the National League. The Astros' victory became controversial when MLB determined in 2019 that they had been illegally using technology to steal signs from opposing teams during their championship season, in addition to during the following season. [56] As a result, the Astros were fined $5 million and docked several top draft picks, while Astros manager A. J. Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow were suspended for one year; both were subsequently fired. However, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred opted against punishing any of the players involved or revoking the Astros' World Series title. [57] ESPN writer Sam Miller opined that although competitive and memorable, the 2017 World Series "produced a champion we all regret having felt happy for". [58]

However, the Astros would eventually redeem themselves after the scandal, as they returned to the World Series in 2022 and defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games for their most recent championship. The Astros also made the World Series two more times in between, in 2019 and 2021, but they lost both to the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves in seven and six games respectively.

The Dodgers returned to the World Series the next year, but were defeated by the Boston Red Sox in five games, who were later implicated in the same illegal sign-stealing scandal as the Astros. They would eventually end their championship drought in 2020 against the Tampa Bay Rays in six games.

Broadcasting

This was fourth year of eight-year U.S. TV contracts with ESPN, Fox Sports, and TBS. ESPN aired the American League Wild Card Game, Fox Sports 1 and MLB Network split the American League Division Series, and the Fox broadcast network and Fox Sports 1 split the American League Championship Series. TBS had the National League Wild Card Game, Division Series, and Championship Series, with sister network TNT used as an overflow channel. The World Series then aired on the Fox broadcast network for the eighteenth consecutive year.
