Over in the Raccoons universe, I discovered a long time ago that there is a whole cast of baseball gods, most malevolent to the team you're rooting for, and then there's Igor, the tiniest and vilest of all the baseball gods, who likes to give your favorite player either a 3-for-37 spell or an oblique strain when your favorite player is going 17-for-37.... (Yes, it's September and the Critters are currently down a Derek Baskins and a Bryce Toohey, and it's not pretty...)
That being said, go 'stros, because no matter who walks out of the NLCS meatmincer, I'll have to root Astros for my own sanity.
If anything, blame the Red Sox for failing to out-hit Yordan Alvarez (only Yordan Alvarez!) for the last three games of the ALCS.
