ALCS Game 3 Preview: Houston Astros vs Texas Rangers

The Astros must come alive in Game 3, as they are down 2-0 in the series. This is a best-of-seven, so they are running out of time. Their offense must get to the Rangers pitching staff early.

Houston will hand the ball to Cristian Javier, while Max Scherzer will make his return for the Rangers. Scherzer has not pitched since September 12, as he was dealing with a strain in his teres major muscle. He recently threw 69 pitches in an extended live session, so he should be good to go, but manager Bruce Bochy will closely monitor him.

If Houston can take Game 3, they might be able to turn the momentum around for the rest of the series. This will be a game that fans will not want to miss.
