The Houston Astros fought hard and came back last night to tie the series at 2, now the Red Sox will look to go to Houston with a series advantage in their last game at Fenway Park. Chris Sale takes the mound for the Red Sox, while the Astros counter with lefty Framber Valdez.
While Valdez has struggled in the series, he was one of the team’s better pitchers down the stretch of the season. Sale will want to get back to winning ways after a poor run of form in the postseason as well, so it will be a pitching duel for the ages.
Experts believe that Valdez will rise to the occasion and will help Houston pull a game out of legendary Fenway Park and go up 3-2 in the series. What do you think? Here is everything you need to know for Game 5 of the ALCS between the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox.
