We’ve been doing this game for years now. Lucky us. Not many SB Nation sites get to play pick the roster every year. But no one has gotten it right for several years now in the many playoff series the Astros have played.
Can you pick the roster that will confront the Tigers in the WC series?
First, the biggest variable: Will Yordan Alvarez be ready? How about Chas McCormick? And then, there’s the whole Verlander conundrum.
There will be a 26-man roster. Certain spots are given.
