Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Houston:</b> Dallas Keuchel (12-11 3.74 ERA)<br />
<b>Cleveland:</b> Mike Clevinger (13-8 3.02 ERA)
</p>
<p>
In Keuchel’s last start of the regular season he only went three innings and gave up one earned run on five hits in a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles. After losing three straight with him on the hill where he gave up 10 earned runs in 16 innings the Astros have won his last two starts where he has totaled eight innings and gave up four earned runs. In back-to-back starts in May Keuchel faced the Indians with the Astros going 1-1 and he gave up six earned runs in 11 innings in the two outings.
</p>
<p>
In eight career appearances in the playoffs, including seven starts, Keuchel is 4-2 with an ERA of 3.24. The Astros are 9-2 in Keuchel’s last 11 road starts, but they have lost five of his last six starts facing a team with a winning record. The Astros have won four of Keuchel’s last five starts against the Indians.
</p>
<p>
In Clevinger’s last start of the regular season he had a good one giving up only one earned run on three hits in six 2/3 innings in a 14-6 win over the Kansas City Royals. The Indians have won five of his last six starts including his last three where he has only given up three earned runs 17 2/3 innings of work. Like Keuchel, Clevinger also went back-to-back facing the Astros in May where Cleveland lost both games and he gave up eight earned runs in 11 2/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
In Clevinger’s career in the post season he has lasted seven innings and gave up six runs and walked nine batters. The Indians have won Clevinger’s last six home starts, but they have lost four of his last five home starts facing a team with a winning record.

Houston at Cleveland ALDS Game 3 Prediction 10/08/2018

The Indians are in a 2-0 hole in this series and while Clevinger did not pitch well in the two starts facing the Astros this season he finished the season strong allowing a combined three earned runs in his last three starts.. The Indians had the 3rd most hits in the Majors this season, but the bats have gone cold in this series with six hits with only one hit being for extra bases. Keuchel did not have the best ending to the season going 1-1 with an ERA of 5.76 in his last five starts, but won two games in the playoffs last season and in 2015. The lack of hits on the road aside I still expect that the Cleveland bats will wake up and the Indians will avoid the sweep tonight.
