Interesting situation to watch here.....there is currently a rain delay in St Louie. Estimated time for first pitch has now been pushed back to 8:45 ET.

But there is a very good chance Game 2 might be rained out tonight......

If so, the game would likely be played tomorrow and Game 3 in Houston on Sat afternoon.

Who would a back-to-back with travel time mixed in between benefit more? My guess is not the Astros bullpen after last night's affair and with another youngster Pete Munro scheduled to pitch Game 2.

I hate to say it but.....right now, its must win time for bot teams. Houston cannot afford to go home down 0-2 in the series. St Louis cannot afford to split the first two games and lose home field advantage, with Games 3 and 4 in a rowdy Houston with there aces on the mound upcoming. If the Astros want a chance to win this series and advance to the Fall Classic, they have to win tonight and put St Louis's back against the wall.
