ALDS Game 5 Odds and Over/Under Total: Astros vs. Royals

Nonetheless, the ALDS is now tied 2-2 and Game 5 will take place in Kansas City on Wendesday at 8:07 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1.

“The fact of the matter is, I have to focus on pitching here and performing for this club and this organization”, he said.

The Blue Jays advanced last night with their 6-3 Game Five win in Toronto over the Texas Rangers. Cueto retired his last 16 hitters following Luis Valbuena’s two-run homer in the second inning. And when it’s applied to the Royals, well, things tend to get real weird.

When Wade Davis breezed through the ninth, the Royals poured onto the field to celebrate. “He knew the magnitude of this game”.

“I know pouting and being negative and dwelling on the past is not going not help us”, Hinch said. “And he came out from the first pitch and had everything going”.

Houston and Kansas City have had a fantastic series to date, tonight they play for a chance at the World Series. “It’ll be a fun series to watch”. The Royals forced the decider at Kauffman Stadium by rallying from a four-run deficit in the eighth inning Monday at Houston. Bautista followed with a three-run blast, a 442-foot blast over the center field fence. Carlos Gomez, who has a rib muscle strain, started for the first time in the series and had an RBI single in the sixth. McHugh tossed six innings in that game, yielding two earned runs on four hits.

“Obviously this is the deciding game”, Cueto said through a translator after the Royals worked out Tuesday afternoon. “We didn’t scratch much off him”. But with plenty of time, his throw across the infield went wide, and first baseman Hosmer had the ball pop from his glove trying to make a swipe tag. The rookie mishandled a deflected grounder that led to five Royals runs in their 9-6 win. But by the fifth, the Royals had figured out McHugh’s darting curveball.

Correa went 4 for 4 and was hit by a pitch. Hinch brought in Mike Fiers in relief, and Rios sent a double bouncing down the chalk of the third-base line, scoring two runs and giving the Royals the lead.

Sipp struck out a batter, so the Astros finally have one out, but this inning isn’t over.

“After the homer he settled in”.

Now there is only one game left and Kansas City are back at home to try and wrap things up and stop a big upset in the early rounds of the postseason.

Houston will put Colling McHugh back on the mound tonight with hopes that he can seal the deal. “This was his night”.
