Ratings Review: 2019 American League Post Season (WC, ALDS, ALCS)

The FOX Sports networks got what they wanted, with the Yankees and Houston making it to the ALCS and pushing it to a 6th game.

The Yankees swept the Twins in its ALDS, with just one game getting over three million viewers. Houston's ALDS went five games and the final two games drew over 3.5 million viewers.

It is surprising that the Yankees vs Astros ALCS did not produce the top audience numbers this post season (game 4 of the NLCS did that) but the series did take spots 2 - 5.
