Probable Pitchers
Houston Astros – Dallas Keuchel – L – (2-0, 0.71 ERA) Dallas Keuchel (14-5. 2.90 ERA, 125 K) has been rock-solid in two postseason starts in limiting Boston to one earned run on three hits in 5.2 innings in Game 2 of the ALDS matchup in the last round before shutting the Yankees down in Game 1 of the ALCS by allowing just four hits and striking out 10 in seven shutout innings. Keuchel has allowed just two earned runs over his last three starts while striking out 25 in 21.2 combined innings. New York Yankees – Masahiro Tanaka – R – (1-1, 1.38 ERA) Masahiro Tanaka has been outstanding this postseason as well in tossing seven shutout innings against Cleveland in Game 3 of the ALDS and limiting Houston to just two runs on four hits of Game 1 opposite Houston’s Keuchel in game 1 of the ALCS. The right-hander has allowed just two earned runs over his last three starts while striking out 25 in 20.0 innings.Game Analysis
For Houston, Game 5 will be a contest in which they hope to avoid falling into a 3-2 series deficit. It’s a really good thing they’ve got Dallas Keuchel on the mound for them in this one, although getting past Masahiro Tanaka won’t exactly be a walk in the park. However, even with their staff ace on the mound, the Astros need to put some runs on the board to eventually back up the ALCS Game 5 Betting Lines. In four games against the Yankees, the Astros have scored a total of nine runs. While the Astros’ all-star double-play combination of Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa are batting a combined .391 against the Yankees everyone else in the Astros’ lineup is batting a pitiful .091, including three of their best hitters in George Springer, Marwin Gonzalez and Josh Reddick. “This isn’t the normal Astros lineup we’re used to,” Reddick said following Houston’s Game 4 loss. “Our whole lineup isn’t hitting. We relied on Altuve and Correa a little too much in the first two games, and we’ve just got to come together as a team and maybe talk it out and work on the things we were doing in the Boston series. “We need to put this game behind us. That’s the only way to put it. We didn’t come out and do our jobs. But it could be worse. At least we are even and returning home in a few days, hopefully with the lead”. The Astros also had better hope that New York’s Aaron Judge doesn’t start going off after his monster Game 3 and 4 performance. Aaron Judge smacked two homers to become the solid leader the Yankees were looking for.
“That pad’s only a couple inches thick, and right behind that, it’s not moving, even as big as he is,” Yankees left fielder Brett Gardner said. “Even though it’s padded, those were a pretty couple of good hits he took. But like I said, he’s a big guy, so the wall’s probably hurting, too.”
“I know how dangerous he is. He can really change a game really quickly”, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
Aaron Judge has already broken the record for the most strikeouts by one player before the World Series, with 21. Still, his impact this postseason has been undeniable.
“You’ve got to take the ups with the downs,” Judge said. “You can’t have all the good, come out here and hit a thousand, even though I want to.”
According to the ALCS Game 5 Betting Lines, Houston could still get its act together quickly at the plate seeing as how according to the Elias Sports Bureau says this year’s Houston team is only the seventh ballclub in MLB history to post the highest slugging percentage and fewest strikeouts in the same season. The Astros joined the 1948 Yankees and the 1995 Cleveland Indians in pulling off the rare accomplishment.
“The scoreboard doesn’t always show how hard you hit the ball,” Springer said. “I thought we hit some balls hard yesterday that didn’t fall. We’re not going to change our approach just because we fly out to the track. We have a plan and an approach, and we stick to it.”
