It was looking bleak for Houston after falling behind 4-0 in Game 5, but the Astros bats finally came alive, and they finished with a 9-5 victory. Now they get to go home where they can have their regular lineup with the designated hitter along with renewed confidence. Max Fried will start for Atlanta, and he has been pummeled his last two outings allowing five runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings against the Dodgers and then giving up six runs on seven hits in five innings in Game 2 of the World Series. Luis Garcia goes for Houston, and after a rough start in the postseason, he has settled down and allowed just one run on four hits in his last 9 1/3 innings. The Braves have lost five of their last seven playoff road games and 17 of 25 games overall versus the American League. Houston is 44-20 its last 64 games as a home favorite. Play the Astros on the runline.
