Why As if I may ask? With our rotation I do not fear the Rays line up at all. The As have more talent overall compared to the Rays. And the Astros have some insight on their best starter in Charlie.
We struggle more with matchups against the Rays. We struggle in Tropicana Field. Yes, we should win in 3 games; but, it's the playoffs. Anything can happen.
I mean It would be nice if this game gets tied up and goes to extra innings with both team's bullpens being used up.
me either. morton is already used up and the stros would love to destroy him as usual anyway. im anticipating him leaving the game early in his game. prefer the rays over A's for sure
I feel the A''s would've been very fired up to play the Stros more than any other team. Plus they're more familiar with our players since we've played them 4 times more than the Rays.
Just consider how the season series's played out. We beat OAK and lost to TAM. This year wasn't the first occurrence either.
So far I'm not seeing anything from either team that we can't handle. We've beat up on Charlie this season. The Rays have power and swing with aggression; they're going to get a few HRs here and there. Not as many as they got tonight when they're going against JV-GC-ZG, and our guys on a whole can straight out-bat them. Just got to have quality ABs to wear out their pitching and then brutalize the inevitable mistake.
