At long last, the Astros have reached the postseason. They seemingly punched their ticket months ago, and now the real test begins.
Here’s a look at how they match up against the AL East Champion Boston Red Sox.
Starting Pitching
Justin Verlander against Chris Sale in Game One is about as good as it gets. Two true aces at the top of their game will make for a fantastic matchup. Game Two will feature Dallas Keuchel against 17-game winner Drew Pomeranz, so the rotations are basically even thus far.
