The Astros were able to put together a great game in the last one to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. However, the Astros are definitely going to need to continue to keep the pressure up in this game or they could end up having to settle the series out in Houston and while that would be nice, it is definitely not what the Astros want.

The Astros get a chance to seal the deal here and they will do that in New York. The Yankees offense has been fairly flat against the Astros pitching and while they did come close to getting the win over Verlander before, they struggled against the bullpen and that will continue again as the Astros simply have more weapons in the bullpen. Final Score, Houston Astros win 5-2.
