would put it at around 11.5 million viewers I believe. So for entire series not quite as good as last year- but IMO the only difference was last year had all prime time games, and this year had those 2 5pm starts, which limited the ratings slightly in games 4 and 5(which got "only" 4.7 and 5.3 million viewers)- by comparison games 4 and 5 last year got 5.8 and 7.2 million viewers.
Saw the final number was 9.9 million(guessing the overnight number didn't match which makes sense given NYC and Houston would be in the overnight markets).
so final for FS1-
2016- NLCS 42.4 million
2017- ALCS 39.4 million
2016- total postseason 68.3 million for 13 games
2017- total postseason 66.0 million for 13 games
I do wonder if Fox execs are unhappy with the LCS schedule both last 2 years. While they have had 6 afternoon starts in the last 2 years combined, Turner has had none. Had all but 2 starts at 8pm. Going to last 4 years- it's been FS1 with 11 day games and Turner with 1 day game. You almost wonder if there's something in the TV contract with Turner requiring that.
