ALCS Schedule 2021: Pitching Matchup, Odds and Final-Score Prediction

The last time Nathan Eovaldi and Luis Garcia went head-to-head, the ALCS went through a few series-altering moments in favor of the Boston Red Sox.

Boston needs to conjure up the same magic it showed at the plate in Game 2 to stay alive in the series Friday night.

The Red Sox appeared to be on the way to a World Series berth after they won Game 2 at Minute Maid Park and followed that up with a Game 3 victory at Fenway Park. But the Houston Astros countered with wins in Games 4 and 5 and have a chance to finish off the series at home, but they have a disadvantage in the pitching matchup.
