Jeremy Pena and the Astros will look to bounce back in the ALDS
In Game Two against the Twins, the Houston Astros had a great chance to take control of the ALDS and position themselves for a swift victory. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way, as the Astros lost Game Two and now must effectively play a three-game series for their playoff lives, with two of the games being played away from home.

"Yordan Alvarez hits his 3rd home run of the #ALDS for the @astros" - MLB
The Astros' ALDS performance thus far has been a mixed bag in terms of output. Some people like Yordan Alvarez, Justin Verlander and Jose Altuve have stood out. However, Jeremy Pena, Kyle Tucker, and others should catch up on their winning momentum quickly to better their chances of advancing to the ALCS and defending their 2022 World Series title.
