According to research from 2017 by Alex Speier of the Boston Globe, the vast majority of comebacks from 2-0 deficits started with a dominant performance from their starters, with a combined ERA of 1.63 among nine starters.ĭavid S choenfield: Going home, where the White Sox went 53-28 compared to 40-41 on the road, will help, but I do wonder if we're seeing what many suspected - that the White Sox cruised in a weak division. The White Sox need a strong outing from Cease to help set the tone for a comeback. Chicago Game 3 starter Dylan Cease has stuff that rivals anyone in the AL, so there's no great drop off on the mound for the home team.
It's their first home playoff game since 2008, so there's pent-up energy among the fanbase and the Sox can make young Astros starter Luis Garcia very uncomfortable. If he can drill it down to just one game - Game 3 - the White Sox can get back into it because Sunday's contest is winnable. Jesse Rogers: Tony La Russa recently said he would never tell his club it had to sweep a series but that's what his team is needing in order to advance. A big fly by Jose Abreu early in Game 3 would be the kind of jump-start they need. How can the White Sox get back in their series with the Astros?īuster Olney:The lineup is capable of putting up big, crooked numbers for the White Sox, and in this moment, that's what they need - other White Sox joining Tim Anderson in mashing hits. What are the keys to each series from here? What are the Game 1 and 2 moments we're still buzzing about? And who do we predict will meet in the ALCS? We asked some of our ESPN MLB experts to weigh in on where things stand and what will happen next.
