Astros Game Today: Astros vs Red Sox Lineup, Odds, Prediction, Pick, Pitcher, TV Channel for October 22

The Houston Astros pushed the series home with their Game 4 win, while taking the series lead in Game 5. Now, an off day separated the Astros from advancing to their third World Series since 2017 on Thursday, as they open Game 6 at Minute Maid Park on Friday night.

The Boston Red Sox will send Nathan Eovaldi to the rubber, who also started Game 2. The right-hander pitched 5.1 innings, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk. Eovaldi also punched out three in that span.

Jake Meyers is likely not starting in an ALCS game again this postseason but can possibly pinch-hit or pinch-run, while his arm strength isn’t 100 percent yet. The center field job will remain in the hands of Jose Siri and Chas McCormick, as Siri looks to be the platoon against a lefty starter.

With Eovaldi on the mound, we can hope manager Dusty Baker utilizes his catching platoon and start Jason Castro.
