The Houston Astros stormed back from a 3-0 series deficit to force Game 7 in the 2020 ALCS. Led by great pitching in the deciding game, the Tampa Bay Rays held off the Astros, 4-2, to clinch the American League pennant on Saturday night. Here’s how it all went down.
After a dominant performance from the Atlanta Braves in Game 4, the Los Angeles Dodgers bounced back, with Game 5’s turning point. Mookie Betts made a solid catch as the ball headed towards the ground to end the third inning. Since then, the Dodgers’ bats woke up and scored seven go-ahead runs to claim Game 5 with a final score of 7-3.
Both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros face elimination tonight. The Dodgers are down 3-1 to the Atlanta Braves and the Astros are down 3-2 to the Tampa Bay Rays. Let’s see if we can make some cash with a couple of teams with their backs against the wall.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to even up the series 2-2. The Atlanta Braves will be looking to get within one game of their first World Series appearance in the 21st century. Something has to give. Let’s take a look at the players to have in your lineup tonight.
The Houston Astros came into Wednesday’s game down 0-3 in the ALCS against the Tampa Bay Rays. With elimination imminent, the Astros were counting on veteran star Zack Greinke to continue their postseason. The Rays’ Tyler Glasnow was sent out to duel the veteran.

Major League Baseball Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan passed away Sunday at the age of 77. He was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1990, his first appearance on the ballot. He was a staple on the Big Red Machine throughout the 1970s, and won two World Series Championships in 1975 and 1976.
We are down to the final four. This is usually when pitching has the upper hand so finding offense amongst the four teams can be a challenge when building lineups. Last night Framber Valdez of the Houston Astros and Blake Snell of the Tampa Bay Rays were very stingy.

While both series on the National League side ended in sweeps, the American League side has been a bit more competitive. Let’s take a look at how we got to the best-of-seven Championship Series with four teams left looking to punch their tickets to the World Series.
Edward Charles “Whitey” Ford passed away today at the age of 91. The New York Yankee legend pitched for 16 years in pinstripes (1950, 1953-1967) and is still the franchise leader in Wins (236).
