And then we made it to Game 7. Today, either the Houston Astros or Texas Rangers will make the World Series. What would have been a clinch by the Astros in Game 6 turned into the Rangers fighting back to push the Game 7, winning 9-2.
Ultimately, the game came down to the ninth inning for the Rangers when they scored five runs, building off of the four they earned throughout the game. The Astros were continuously left on base, with some guys not putting up any numbers thanks to the Rangers bullpen. Now, either team will clinch today.
Game 7 of the ALCS will air on FS1 at 8:03 PM. The Philadelphia Phillies, who lead the series 3-2 and return home to Citizens Bank Park for Game 6 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, will play Monday afternoon at 5:07 PM on TBS.
BetMGM has the Astros as favorites to win Game 6 at (-125) and the Rangers as (+105) underdogs. Check out some more best bets for tonight’s action.
Total Over 9 Runs (-105)
Everything is actually on the line tonight. So far, we’ve seen some higher-scoring games between the two teams than what we saw at the start of the series. I think it’s going to be a close one tonight while also getting runs.
Scherzer O 4.5 Ks (+105)
I’m a little surprised that Scherzer is at plus money, but I’d also take it for this very reason. I still think Scherzer is going to deliver in tonight’s game to try to help the Rangers pull out that last win.
Alvarez O 0.5 Hits (-185)
No home run yesterday, but Alvarez did score a run and got a hit, so I’m riding with this same bet one last time today.
