Houston is winning by the long all, against the team with the second highest number of regular season home runs in history (if I remember what I read about that). Just goes to show, in the postseason, good pitching beats good hitting.

(31,775 posts)IMO that approach is disaster in a short series against a good team. Manufacture runs via small ball, though even that might not be possible against a team as deep as Houston. I believe the Astros are simply out-thinking everyone too -- scouting, analytics, coaching. They find a weakness and exploit it.
