Simply sharing:
The Astros really struggled at the plate this year and it?s no wonder why after their sign-stealing controversy. Houston was 9-23 on the road, with a 4-13 mark vs. teams above .500. Minnesota has lost 11 straight home playoff games, The Twins are 3-23 in their last 26 postseason games. But they were one of the best home teams this season at 23-7. Zack Greinke isn't in great form heading into Game 1, while Kenta Maeda had a phenomenal season. He was 6-1 with a 2.70 ERA and a league-best 0.75 WHIP. He held opposing hitters to a .168 batting average.
