Boston was No. 5 in the league in runs scored, seventh in on-base percentage, and second in slugging. The Red Sox are swinging sticks of dynamite in the postseason, ripping Houston 9-5 and 12-3 the last two games. Houston has lost six of seven on the road and is 1-7 away from home against teams with winning home records. They turn to Zack Greinke to try and right the ship, but he turns 38 in two days and has a 12.00 ERA against Boston this season. The Astros are 3-8 after a contest where the bullpen threw 6+ innings while the Red Sox are 67-52 against teams with a bullpen WHIP of 1.350 or better. Play Boston.
