Game 1 of the ALCS between the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox starts at 8:09PM on Saturday at Fenway!
Who do you have in this series?
If I were betting, I'd put everything on the Red Sox, but I'm hoping the Astros win it.
This is a tough one. I'm never going to bet against my Red Sox, but the Astros scare me a lot! Houston won the season series 4-3, but as we all know, the playoffs are a completely different animal. I'm hoping that Alex Cora's knowledge and familiarity of the Astros will give the Red Sox the upper hand. I'm also hoping that David Price doesn't come out and take another dump in pants as soon as he steps on the mound. Red Sox bullpen will really need to step it up as well.
I'm staying hopeful here and going with the Red Sox in 7 games.
