The Astros are set to announce their ALCS roster today, and it's expected to differ from their ALDS roster slightly. Wade Miley, who has come unraveled down the stretch and didn't show well in his one playoff appearance- a low leverage situation- is going to miss the cut. Additionally, it's unlikely that the team will again opt for six outfielders, as they did in the division series. I'd argue that, after George Springer and Michael Brantley, a combination of Kyle Tucker, Jake Marisnick and Myles Straw has the most utility, but it seems unlikely that the Astros would leave Reddick off given his experience level, particularly in the outfields of Minute Maid Park and, perhaps more importantly, Yankee Stadium.
