Astros Release Lineup for World Series Game 7

Here's the lineup for all the marbles. Their task? Back up Zack Greinke, and drill Max Scherzer.

Simple enough, eh?

The Houston Astros have their second consecutive chance to close out the Nats on their home turf, but Washington could also capture a title tonight. It's Game 7. Things get weird.

And these are the steady hands AJ Hinch has chosen to lead the way.

This is the high-functioning lineup that's worked plenty of times in the past for this Astros squad. Nothing reactionary, no bold decisions. Yordan Alvarez, though he's struggled in this World Series outside of Game 5, will still hit sixth, an inch away from hitting the ball an absolute mile every time he grips the bat.

It's impossible to be stronger seven-through-nine than Correa/Chirinos/Reddick, really.

There's nothing to quibble about here. The easy part is done. Now, go out and beat Max Scherzer, two days removed from a full-body muscular lockup.
