Well yeah. They're the best team in baseball

If we played Houston in the playoffs it would probably go like the season series. Probably get swept and in two of the games we have a lead when the starter leaves in the 6th or 7th and the bullpen allows 7-8 runs.

That, or Houston completely mindfricks themselves because they've never been in this situation before and lose the series.

I've been saying it for awhile, I think Houston is the Texas Rangers of 2010. Damn good on offense w/ solid pitching and a good bullpen. But I think the lack of experience in the postseason will get to them at some point and next year and the one after will be the ones where if they don't win it's a complete bust.

That is why they brought in McCann, Beltran, and Reddick. Only thing that can stop them is running into a hot team and them cooling down late.
I think in a 7 game series Boston will beat the Astros, Boston has a good offense, defense, and enough pitching. They need a bit more power but overall solid

Nearly everyone on this roster has been in a playoffs and many have blown a series. You are overrating the "they haven't been here" card imo
