ALCS Bracket 2019: Game Time, TV Schedule, Odds and Predictions

Houston needs an improved approach at the plate to avoid a second straight defeat in the American League Championship Series.

A.J. Hinch's side managed one run on five hits in the Game 5 loss to the New York Yankees that forced the series to move back to Minute Maid Park.

Although they put up 13 runs at Yankee Stadium, the Astros are not getting much from certain parts of their order.

Yordan Alvarez, Yulieski Gurriel and Robinson Chirinos are a combined 2-of-52 and the Astros are batting .178 as a team through five games.
