The Houston Astros are facing elimination tonight but there is no other pitcher they would want on the mound for them. Justin Verlander will get the ball and at home. I also feel like the umps owe them a few calls as well behind the plate.

Verlander has been lights out this postseason. While his counterpart, David Price has never been a good postseason starter. He has now gone 11 games without registering a win as a starter and that will likely continue here tonight as Houston forces a game 6 with a win.
