Kuechel has been named the starter in Game 1 for Houston.

Stros in 6. 

[Tigers2010]

This is Houston's series to lose. Only advantage New York may have, the bullpen. 

[Broncos2447]

Stros in 6

[ManiacAlum2000]

Cleveland over-managed themselves right out of the playoffs. Bauer starts twice and Carrasco once? That may be a fireable offense. Hopefully Hinch learned his lesson from the ALDS.

I'll say Stros in 6 as well, would be nice if Judge and Sanchez bats stayed quiet.

Game 1-Kuechel

Game 2-Verlander

Game 3-Morton

[PhatMack19]

Kuechel has been dealing.  The ump was giving them a few inches off the plate and he lived there.  Hopefully the bullpen can hold up. 

 

2-0 Astros B7

[PhatMack19]

Altuve 3-4.   He’s so good 

 

2-0 Astros headed to the 9th

[PhatMack19]

Solo HR

 

2-1 Astros T9 with 2 outs 

[PhatMack19]

Astros win!  Astros win!

Keuchel was lights out tonight! Need Verlander to deal his stuff tomorrow. Need Morton or Peacock to have one solid start in New York, five would be nice. I'll still say Astros in 6.

Reminds me of the Glavine/Maddux gems in the 90s.  Such supreme control in hitting his spots.

Verlander looking good early. Two Ks and a popup. 

[baddog]

Great gun of Gardner at 3rd. Reddick having a great defensive game so far.

It's official:Verlander makes me more aroused then Kate

You have a serious problem. 

Man, can Altuve run the bases or what?

[baddog]

Stros can win it at home. Take one in NY, we have two chances to win at home. Heck, let's just go ahead and sweep.

Great playoff baseball wins in both games. Keuchel & Verlander were outstanding as well as Altuve & Correa. Hope some other guys can get going offensively. It's nice knowing we have a well rested bullpen if needed but hope Morton and whoever goes in game 4 can give us 5-6 innings each. Nice having guys like Beltran and McCann who have played in NY to get the team ready for the atmosphere there.

We took 3 of 4 @ NY and 2 of 3 @ home during the regular season.

Keuchel & Verlander were incredible! Need 3 more starts like that from each of them. A good sign for the Astros is that offense has won majority of the games this season, while their pitching and defense has been questioned. The defense, especially by the outfield, has been terrific this postseason and the pitching has been lights out minus game three versus the Red Sox. That is a great sign moving forward. I'm not sure of the exact number, but I don't remember many games the Astros won this season only scoring two runs. I feel they can close this series out in New York, maybe even a sweep because how rested the bullpen is. If we win game 3, depending on how that game goes, I feel like we would see a lot of the bullpen in game 4, due to Devo and Giles the only two who have thrown. Bats need to get hot, so we don't have these close games the rest of the way!

How about a little want to from the Astros left fielder on the Bird double?  Looked to me he gave up, that ball should have been caught.  Hinch out thinking himself, imo.

[BS Wildcats]

Maybin's lack of hustle on ball to left just cost them a run

[BS Wildcats]

Hope the bats come alive in game 4.  Harris is terrible!!  Have got to win a game in NY.

Things just not going the Astros way tonight. Kinda like game 3 against the Red Sox. Astros will be fine, still think we get one in the Bronx and Verlander finishes the series out in game 6.
