ALCS Game 1- Houston vs Tampa Bay

-
Tonight is Game 1 of the American League Championship Series from Petco Park in San Diego between the Houston Astros and Tampa Bay Rays. The Astros who are the favourite team of every baseball fan right now have had an impressive postseason so far. They extended the Minnesota Twins playoff losing streak by sweeping the 3 game series on the road. They then travelled to LA to play in Dodger Stadium where they beat the Oakland A's in 4 games after impressive series' from Carlos Correa and most of the Astros best hitters. The Rays the #1 seed in the AL beat the Blue Jays in 2 games at home before travelling to San Diego and Petco Park. The Rays beat the Yankees in a thrilling 5 game series to advance to their first ALCS since 2008 when they lost in the World Series to the Philadelphia Phillies. This is the Astros 4th straight ALCS appearance including a World Series title in 2017. The Rays are -140 favourites for this game 1 and I like Rays to win and start the ALCS with a bang.

Record: 16-17

Wild Card Saturday

I'm still not celebrating the regular season until the playoffs are over. This is only for the two Saturday games for now. Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans Even Vegas knows that this is the rubber match of the year. I'm taking Houston to win but Indy to cover the 2 points because these games are weird. Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys Seattle is too hot right now to lose to the Cowboys. Dallas is favored because they are at home and Vegas wants to be safe. But I'm trusting Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson to leave Texas with a victory.
