Not even two weeks in, and playoffs have changed the fate of multiple teams entirely. With the Dodgers, Mets, Cardinals, Braves, Mariners, and Rays out of the World Series race, only six teams are now left. Teams who will play NLCS are decided with only one team that has qualified for ALCS, and that is Houston Astros. 

With some recent changes in the postseason schedule and the Astros making it to the ALCS, a concert of Sir Elton John’s farewell tour that was supposed to be in Minute Maid Park is now canceled. From the looks of it, it won’t be getting rescheduled either.
