Series Thread: ALCS: New York Yankees vs Houston Astros

[navamind]

very excited for this one. two of the best offenses in the league, one of the best rotations and one of the best bullpens in the league. Two teams that outscored their opponents by over 200 runs (though the Astros were at a whopping +286; Yankees' +204 is still great).

Yanks have home field correct? If yes they win in 6

They don't

First team to 100 runs wins the series

No the Mets pitching is not involved in this series

I can see this going the full 7 games. Greinke, Verlander, Cole in the first 3 games. I can see both teams winning this but I think it will come down to pitching and the Astros has a better rotation. I say Astros in 7.

I am very excited for this one but it could also tip over into Astros in 4 or 5 pretty easily. Yankees have to be clearly the better team to win this. If this gets tight, the Astros being invincible at Home and having Cole in Game 3 can make this really tough on the Yankees.

I did pick the Yankees to come out of the AL at the start of the postseason because I think they can show that they are clearly the best but if they don't then the needle could fly in the other direction pretty severely.

They don't

We shall see then about the series but I am still taking the Yanks

Leaning toward the Astros here (Verlander fan in full effect). Two great teams!! What the Yankees have done this year is nothing short of amazing. At times they had more money on the IL than on the Field. Possibility of a great series.

Bad thing is it sets up for one of them in a possible game 7

Won't be a game 7, you said Yankees in 6

 

[msgkings322]

This matchup may be the real world series.

They are definitely the best 2 teams left

love the strohs pitching advantage here, but the yankmees have been held out of the BIG DANCE for too long now…


yankmees in 7

 

[jvett77]

I want to see balls flying out of the park in every game.

 

[Pastafazul]

Stros in 6

Yankees in 5

 

[Pastafazul]

Keep swinging they’ll find a whole

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

These are 2 dam good baseball teams, best ALCS in a long time ... I’m leaning Yankees...

 

[bksballer89]

Wow

Wow

It was an OK play, but if Gardner had been in RF he would have run to first to get the second out and we wouldn't have had to worry about the throw getting away. Aaron Boone needs to learn these things if he ever wants to be a decent MLB manager.

It's kind of dumb how he is managing the team and not you.
