What to make of ALDS as Astros head to Minnesota

Today’s game won’t be easy. But, hey, that’s what playoffs are all about.

After splitting the first two games at Minute Maid Park, the Astros now face something similar to a best of three games Wild Card series. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ALDS goes to five games. In fact, I suspect it’s more likely than not.

Sonny Gray

Gray, the Twins’ starting pitcher in Game 2, doesn’t have any identifiable weaknesses. He is a legitimate 5+ WAR starting pitcher. He has pitched over 180 innings with a 2.74 ERA and 1.14 WHIP.
