Other than the Blue Jays, I’ve always liked Houston, so I’ll be cheering for them this series.

I like Astros as well. But the Dodgers have spend a small nation's GDP on their team over the last couple of years and have assembled a really nice, high end talent line up. I'm taking Astros in 6.

I wouldn't be surprised if LA can pull it out; the issue is that they need to have their bats flying.

The Astros would be my preferred team, but I wouldn't be surprised either way.

I agree, this series can go in either teams direction, it’s hard to predict since it will all depend on which players can excel under the pressure.

its also just whether or not Kersh can be full lights out...Cole Hamles style in 2008 lol.

the pen is going to be key for both, seeing as how if a starter gives up 2 runs, they are pulled in the 4th

I'm more curious to see how the Astros' starters outside of Kuechel and Verlander handle this lineup. Morton and McCullers were fantastic in Game 7, but they'll most likely need one of them to pull out a win this series. If Kershaw's playoff struggles start to hit him, then the advantage clearly goes to Houston. If not, I have to give LA the edge on paper, mostly due to the Astros' pitching. They haven't faced a lineup quite like the one LA has.

This is by far the best World Series I've ever watched. I hope the Dodgers win Game 6, just so there can be a Game 7.

Good to see some baseball where pitching (or lack of it) makes the games exciting.
Daryl liked this.

It's amazing that a game started by Kuechel and Kershaw ended in a 13-12 final score

I wonder quick LA is to put Kershaw in the game. I'd assume it happens as soon as there's the slightest bit of trouble for Darvish. I do think that Houston will give McCullers a bit of a longer leash before Kuechel comes in.

Darvish had a negative effect on this team. Never really found his groove with them
