American League:
The defending American League Champions Kansas City Royals are in trouble down 2-1 to the Houston Astros. With Yordano Ventura on the bump for the Royals, he already has a loss in the series. Lance McCullers is going to be on the bump for the Astros, he hasn't pitched at all this post season, but he was 6-7 during the year. With Houston having amazing offense during the playoffs and only need a win to move on. Will Yordano be able to slow it down and force a game 5?
The Toronto Blue Jays take on the Texas Rangers in an elimination game for them. Last night, the Blue Jays knew they needed to bring their A game on the road. They took the game 5-1 and are down 2-1 in the series. Tonight, they are looking forward to doing the same and bringing the series finale to Toronto. R.A. Dickey goes up against the Rangers and Derek Holland pitches for the Rangers.
National League:
A 1-1 series Dodgers (Brett Anderson) @ Mets (Matt Harvey). With the Dodgers being steamed about Chase Utley slide that broke Ruben Tejada's right leg. It could be a brawl tonight to get back at Utley for that horrible slide. Will the Dodgers be able to get past the high heat of Harvey? Will Brett Anderson be able to pitch good enough for the win?
Probably the most hyped game for tonight is the Cardinals @ Cubs! The Chicago Cubs are hosting their first postseason game since 2008. It'll be a showdown between Jake Arrieta and Michael Wacha. The series is tied at 1 a piece. The Chicago Cubs are arguably the hottest team in baseball right now. The Cubs are looking forward to taking their first series lead in which they haven't done since 2003.
