The Astros are heading home with two chances to clinch the American League pennant. I think every team in the league would sign up for that opportunity. Every club, aside from Houston, would gladly switch spots with the Red Sox. If there’s ever a team not to count out in an ALCS, it’s probably Boston.
Houston took the upper hand in the series with a convincing 9-1 victory on Wednesday. Now, with their backs against the walls, the Red Sox will turn to Nathan Eovaldi. Eovaldi picked up a win in Game 2 after allowing three runs over 5.
