Jose Altuve bailed out his closer and also sent the Astros to the World Series. MVP calibre indeed. juliackreuz has all your takeaways from Houston's big ALCS win.

Shortly after his heroics, Altuve was named ALCS MVP. The second baseman had at least one hit in all but one Championship Series games, and entered play in Game 6 with a 1.088 OPS in the series.In an off-season that had free-agent names like Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, it would be easy to lose sight of LeMahieu.

LeMahieu sported a 1.029 OPS with two home runs in the ALCS, the second of them perhaps one of the most important of his career. While Green was quickly pulled at the end of the first, Peacock was back on the mound in the top of the second. But a two-out RBI single from Gary Sanchez and a yielded walk to Gio Urshela ended his night and prompted the bullpen whirlwind.
