The Astros return home for Game 3 of the ALDS, tied 1-1 with the Royals. Sunday's contest could've served as a do or die situation for the Royals, but the club managed to come from behind in Game 2 on Friday. They'll look to build on that momentum Sunday.
There's just one problem: Dallas Keuchel.
It's Not The Billy Goat's Fault You Sucked For 107 Years
The bearded wonder led the American League in victories (20) and innings (232) this season, finishing 9-4 with a 2.85 ERA after the All-Star break. The most damning statistic for the Royals, however, is his 15-0 record record at home.
His 1.46 ERA at Minute Maid Park will provide the Royals with the steepest uphill battle to climb.

'Lucky' Edinson Volquez up for challenge vs. Dallas Keuchel

Hard to look past Keuchel and the Astros tomorrow morning. Only concern is bullpen, hopefully can go 7 innings.

Cain still had 6 hits, and 3 vs Keuchel. Key to win: Get someone on base before Cain.

@Royals right guy on the hill today for an upset..Volquez has been playing 11 years to earn a playoff win of this magnitude #MLBPostseason

I wonder if Astros fans are going to feel some kind of way towards Edison Volquez, you know breaking George Springer hand and whatnot...
