Houston at Cleveland

The Houston Astros opened their ALDS series with Cleveland by sweeping them at home to take a commanding 2-0 series lead in the best of 5 series. They can close out the Tribe this afternoon behind Dallas Kuechel. Cleveland played in arguably the worst division in baseball this season, the AL Central, and their record, not as good as the other AL teams in the playoffs, was not pretty against winning teams. The Tribe on the season, with their 2 losses to Houston, is now 23-33 against winning teams, the worst among this years playoff field. Kuechel's last outing vs. the Tribe resulted in an 11-2 Houston win in Cleveland. Expect more of the same today. Make the play on Houston.
