Premium Pick

Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve homered and Houston won Game 1 of the ALCS 5-4 over the Red Sox and now those two get to face Nathan Eovaldi and they have had success against him in their careers. Altuve is batting .316 with three home runs in 16 at-bats and Correa is 5-for-16 against Eovaldi. Luis Garcia had a bad outing against the White Sox in the divisional series, but he is a much better pitcher at home where he has a 2.39 ERA compared to 4.24 on the road. Garcia faced Boston once this season and allowed one run on five hits in seven innings. The Astros now have won six of the past eight meetings and are on a mission to win a championship without any major sign-stealing accusations. The Red Sox are 5-14 their last 19 games as road underdogs and Houston has won five playoff home games in a row. Take the Max Play on the Astros.
