From the Astros‘ perspective, a tied 1-1 series against the 108-win Red Sox and coming back home to Houston for the next three games is a prime opportunity. The outcome of the next three games could very well determine the end result of this year’s ALCS.
Dan Szymborski of FanGraphs published the latest ZiPS probabilities for both the NLCS and ALCS here. By ZiPS, the Astros currently have a 55.4% of winning Game 3 along with a 52.7% chance to advance to the World Series. It is always interesting to see how the percentages favor, or don’t favor, your favorite team.
