For those fans not fearless of superstition, the Houston Astros have already started selling tickets to AL Championship Series home games.
Of course, if things go south in Seattle and the Astros drop the next two opportunities to clinch, the Astros return to Minute Maid Park for a winner-take-all ALDS Game 5 on Monday. And, yes,The Mariners have a long-suffering fanbase. The playoff drought they've tolerated is old enough to buy a beer.
But the M's are making the most of their return to the postseason, sweeping Toronto and now hosting a division rival as the first playoff opponent they've hosted in 21 Octobers. So a playoff-hungry crowd should be loud enough to rival any game played by the Mariners' next-door neighbor, the Seahawks. And the Astros are aware of that.
" fans are going to be electric," Astros closing pitcher Ryan Pressly said. "To take two here, it kinda takes a little bit of pressure off you going up there, but you want to keep the pedal down and keep going."If poise in competition makes you shaky of whether the Astros can pull off a win in hostile territory, may we offer a history lesson."Houston is 5-1 in best-of-five series when they had a 2-0 lead, and have won each of their last five," a tweet read.
If they want to make it a clean ALDS sweep, the Astros will have to depend on a strong Game 3 outing by starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr., who memorably last pitched in the postseason in the 2021 ALDS where he was pulled in the middle of Game 4 with a wrist ailment that sidelined him for much of 2022.
