Why is offense at historic low in the 2026 MLB playoffs? Plus more intriguing postseason trends

The Milwaukee Brewers (existed since 1970) and Tampa Bay Rays (since 1998) have never won a title. "This was a difficult year," Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said after his team's ALDS Game 5 win over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday.
