TEX 9, HOU 2

I guess nobody's winning home games in the ALCS, eh? Eovaldi looked pretty great; Valdez looked less great, but wasn't the problem; and Garcia made a resounding, RBI-rich case for this year's Victorino Award.

And yet, not that many points...

Altuve 2

Alvarez 2

Diaz 0

Tucker 0

Seager 0

NLCS Game 6 starts at 5:07 ET on TBS. If I'm the Philadelphia line-up, I'm trying to mash early in counts and put it out of reach emotionally early...but my last name is "Bunting" so what do I know, right? (Except that Thomson should strongly consider not pitching to Ketel Marte.) I think this series ends tonight; we'll see.

Curtain goes up on the ALCS Game 7 drama at 8:03 on FOX. No idea what happens, except that any result is going to knock out a few slates for us, so why not make an authoritative prediction so we can all laugh at me later? ...Scherzer is rested and dealing; the cool patches in the Houston line-up can't put anything together; Rangers win.

We'll find out. Good luck!
