Boston at Houston

Houston will look to close out the ALCS after a 9-1 victory on Wednesday when Yordan Alvarez was 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, and three RBIs. Boston managed to get only three hits while being stymied by Framber Valdez. The Astros were 51-30 at home in the regular season, and they have won five of their last six playoff home games. Also, Houston is 58-20 in their last 78 games following an off day. The Red Sox are just 6-14 their past 20 games as road underdogs. Luis Garcia will try again after a couple of rough outings for the Astros, but he had a 2.39 ERA in 15 appearances at home in the regular season. Nathan Eovaldi gave up four runs in 2/3 innings on Tuesday in a relief role, and Houston has all the momentum now. Play the Astros.
