- Justin Verlander delivered six shutout innings for the Astros in his first start this postseason, and should shut the Texas Rangers down here as well.
- The Rangers are 5-0 this postseason, but there is a huge difference in experience at this state between them and the defending champions from Houston.
Expect the Texas Rangers to struggle in the Rangers vs Astros Game 1 matchup to kick off the ALCS in Houston. While the Rangers have looked excellent in the playoffs so far, they have done so against depleted Rays and Orioles teams. Meanwhile, the Astros have a huge experience edge going into this series, especially with Justin Verlander on the mound in Game 1. Look for the Astros to win this game with some margin to make an early statement against their in-state rivals.
