Baseball is obviously unpredictable, but looking at pitching match-ups you gotta think that tonight may be the swing game who wins the series.
Would be huge to win this series. We have 2 of our best starters going and we're home. Would be very disappointing if we lose.

Which is why I question them even being involved in a comparison of "who's the real deal?" Obviously, the Royals are... they proved it last year. They should be comparing the Astros to the Rangers (last place team last year) or Twins.
What the hell kind of question is this? Of course the team that played in the World Series is "more of the real deal."
The fact that they are even comparing speaks volumes of this Houston team. Yeah I know we're playing a series against them but writers and fans really dont know what to make of this team. Theyre too scared to write us off and too proud to root for us.
