Texas Rangers and Houston Astros, division rivals, had the exact same record at the end of the regular season. After winning the tiebreaker, the Astros received a bye into the first round of the playoffs; however, they are presently down the Rangers 2-0 in the ALCS. In the event that Texas prevails in this series, they probably won’t feel badly about dropping the tiebreaker.

In the ALCS, the road Rangers emerged victorious in both of the opening two games, which were held in Houston. At this point in the postseason, Texas is 7-0, and two more victories would guarantee them a trip to the World Series. Christian Javier will start for the Astros in Wednesday’s game three away from home, where they are in desperate need of a victory.

“We have one of our best starters, Javier, going, especially when we need a win,” Martín Maldonado stated, via an MLB.com report. “He can throw a solid fastball or slider at any moment. assaults those who hit. No occasion is too big for him. For this reason, I believe we will be very strong [in Game 3].

For the Astros in one postseason game, Christian Javier won the victory in the mound. He pitched 5 innings, walking five and striking out nine with no runs allowed. That’s a terrific performance overall, but he needs to control those walks. The Astros will have a strong chance to win if he has another one like that in game three.
