They’ve also been the better team in the matchup over the past handful of season. In the last 30 games between the two teams, the Astros have gone 18-12.
Expect a Lot of Offense
The ALCS will feature two of the best offenses in baseball, so expect runs to come in bunches. The Astros and Red Sox rank second and third respectively in OPS, and first and fifth in total runs scored.
If the Red Sox want to have a fighting chance against the Astros, these three players are going to have to step up.https://t.co/7hv6aFaBr9

It will also help that neither team has a particularly strong bullpen. The Red Sox rank 13th in bullpen ERA at 4.06 and the Astros rank 15th in that statistic at 4.06.
Strap in, because this series is going to be a good one.
