Who has the home field tie breaker between Texas and Philly? Both finished 90-72

Update: Unless I am wrong, its Texas.....we swept them the first three (3) games of the season.

I thought tonight favored Houston because of Verlander. And it still might have if that ball in the 8th wasn’t hit to just about the only place in the park that would be an out.
You made me curious... Ball was well struck but I think the batter got under it a bit. From this graph of the Stro stadium seems that little nook is 362.

This was a better catch, IMO...



But this was more dramatic and important

For pure leather greatness...this might have been the best of game two. I love Josh only an quarter-ounce less than Evan.

We again see the fraud nature of the Astros. Perpetually incapable of relying on just their talent, the frauds are desperate to tilt the game however they can.

Yep. It’s not as deep there as I thought it was. That unique offset made it seem worse than it was.

Pure Graig Nettles and Brooks Robinson . Two great 3rd basemen from that ERA

Cody Bradford was super in Baltimore really like to see him as a lefty late inning arm .

They need to call this MLB postseason. Just give it to the Phils before it gets any uglier.

Looking like Rangers vs Phillies World Series although the two series aren't over.

Astros will have to win 4 out of 5 though and only 2 games left in Houston.

The strange thing is the Astros have been significantly better record-wise on the road vs. at home.
