This should be one of the most intriguing World Series matchups of the wild-card era: Two great teams, two long droughts, one story that will get a dramatic conclusion.
So which team are you rooting for?
You have to root for the Houston Astros.
They had a dominant season with 101 wins, and they did it with style, enthusiasm and a whole bunch of offense. They were a great team that then added Justin Verlander just in time to make them even greater and even more exciting. With the city of Houston still recovering from Hurricane Harvey, the Astros have provided some much-needed joy to the community and to a fan base that deserves this moment.
