I see these teams reaching double-digits in scoring with the series coming to hitter-friendly Fenway Park where the weather forecast is for the wind to be blowing out to left and center at a crisp 18 mph.

The Astros had the best offense in baseball during the regular season and they've stayed hot during the first two games of the series batting .343 with six homers.

Houston lit up Chris Sale and Drew Pomerantz. The Astros should destroy Doug Fister, an over-the-hill veteran turned journeyman who has surrendered 17 earned runs in his last four starts spanning 16 2/3 innings.

Boston could do its share of damage against Brad Peacock, who is 1-2 with a 9.00 ERA lifetime versus the Red Sox. Peacock has an 8.53 ERA in 12 2/3 innings pitching at Fenway Park.

Mookie Betts is expected to play for the Red Sox.
