“Yeah, I watched a little bit,” Strasburg said of his ALCS viewing habits. Astros right-hander Justin Verlander (1-2, 3.70 ERA) has played a similar role in tandem with right-hander Gerrit Cole, who took his first loss in 26 starts on Tuesday. The Game 2 start will represent Verlander’s 30th career postseason appearance, and he is 14-9 with a 3.26 ERA in the playoffs. We had a little bit of bad luck. We did chase a little bit, as you’re going to.
