The Astros jumped on Max Scherzer and the Rangers early and mostly cruised to a 8-5 ALCS Game 3 win on Wednesday.
Bruce Bochy and the Rangers have decisions to make about pitching if they want to end this ALCS in Arlington.
After an 8-5 win Wednesday, Houston still trails the American League Championship Series. But it’s 2-1 now and the Astros need only a split of the next two games here to push the series back home.The Astros haven’t been very efficient at Minute Maid Park this year, and the Rangers would certainly go there with confidence after winning twice in this series. But something about letting those Houston bats come to life Wednesday feels like a big mistake.Scherzer’s last outing was Sept. 12.
Houston’s Cristian Javier was the first starting pitcher not to be saddled with a loss to Texas in the playoffs. He could come up again in Game 7, just like Scherzer.
