The Seattle Mariners managed to end their curse and qualified for this postseason after not being able to achieve that goal since 2001, in what was the longest non-playoff drought for a team in the four major U.S. sports leagues and they come to this instance after completing a comeback in the last two innings against a favorite like the Toronto Blue Jays to win 10-9 and sweep the wild card series.

The Houston Astros come into the postseason not only as division champions, but also with the second-best record in all of MLB, which makes them the American League’s favorite team to reach the World Series, and having closed the regular season with seven wins in ten games shows that they are ready for the challenge.
The starter for this Game 1 will be veteran Justin Verlander, who proved that the years have not passed him by in 2022 by leading the MLB in ERA and being the second starter with the most wins during the season, in addition to not allowing runs in four of his last six appearances on the mound.
Starting Pitcher: Justin Verlander (18-4, 1.75 ERA, 0.83 WHIP).
Injured: Michael Brantley (shoulder), Jason Castro (knee), Josh James (forearm), Jeremy Pena (knee – day-to-day).
