The Astros also bring a ton of postseason experience, with playoff veterans like Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve and Framber Valdez. Meanwhile, the Tigers have a squad full of rookies and inexperienced young players. Parker Meadows, Matt Vierling, Riley Greene, Colt Keith, Spencer Torkelson, Trey Sweeney are not exactly elite, experienced veterans. But they have Tarik Skubal, who dominated the Astros lineup in game one. And the Tigers in game two did what they have done almost every day since mid-August: pass in decisive situations.
