Although a native of Massachusetts who grew up as a Boston Red Sox fan, Texans coach Bill O'Brien is rooting for the Astros in their series.
O'Brien has attended several Astros games, and his wife and son are attending the game. The Texans have hosted Astros players at training camp, including Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve.
"Astros all the way," O'Brien said Thursday. "Seriously, A.J. Hinch texted with him a few times over the years since he's been here. Very smart guy, great manager. They've had a great year."
