The @CleGuardians have won their last 2 home games after dropping their first 2 of this postseason.

The only team in MLB history to win 3+ straight home playoff games after losing their first 2 was the 1981 New York Yankees.

The @Broncos have recorded multiple sacks in each of their last 21 home games (incl. postseason).
