Red Sox vs Astros live stream is here: How to watch ALCS Game 6 online

Tonight's Red Sox vs Astros live stream has Houston looking to eliminate Boston and move on to their third World Series in five years. But if the Red Sox had a reason to be optimistic about forcing a game seven, it lies with who they'll be facing in this MLB live stream.

For the second time this series, Nathan Eovaldi will start against Luis Garcia. The two righties started game two against each other with Garcia getting chased after just one inning. 

The Red Sox took Garcia for five runs on two hits and three walks and even hit a grand slam in the first inning of game two. On the other end, Eovaldi faired much better than Garcia, holding the Astros to just three runs over 5.2 innings of work.

The Astros will look to continue the dominance they've shown at the plate over the last two games, scoring nine runs in each win. Yordan Alvarez has really stepped up over that stretch. He has a hit in every game this series, but combined for five hits in games four and five with a homer and four runs batted in.

Since their 12-run outburst in game three, the Red Sox' bats have quieted. Enrique Hernandez, who was on fire this series has just one hit in his last nine at bats, while Xander Bogaerts is looking to bounce back from a 0-for-4 game five.

The Astros are 1.5-run favorites against the Red Sox. The over/under is 8.5.
