Pulling for Houston, but I think LA takes it in 6.

On a side note, Granderson just got left off the WS roster....slightly surprising.

Also pulling for Houston- I think the world of Jose Altuve- but I'll go Dodgers in 7. Should be a nice balmy 98 degrees for the first pitch tonight.

Astros to me are scary and though the Dodgers are the favorite betting wise, i still look at them as the underdog. How many Astros hitters would be the second best hitter on another teams lineup.

Dodgers will win the world series if Kershaw is a top 3 MVP candidate (which he wasnt in cubs series...)

So dodgers to win in the 'upset'

That game last night was insane. I got home from dinner and turned it on in the 8th to a bit of deja vu (LA up 3-1). Boy did things change. Pretty epic.

Yeah, the Dodger bullpen came back to Earth in a big way. Of course, it doesn't help when you go to them in the fifth inning.

Yeah, Roberts overthought it. He should have known better and it cost them a game.

Not sure why Dodgers are planning to use Kershaw only twice in the world series..

Rather have Kershaw pitch game 1 4 and 7 and take your chances...could of used wood in long relief after Hill in game 2.........

People love to criticize Kershaw for the postseason but it does look like he has turned it around and at least wont get clobbered and only pitch 1 or 2 innings to start the game like you risk with almost every other starting pitcher in the major leagues.....like i have said many times....if you go 6 innings and give up 2 runs...your team will win almost every game..

Kerhaw's teams have won 8 of the last 9 games in the playoffs


why risk Wood to go down 3 games to 1......might as well go down with kershaw....... plus id rather lose in the later innings with Wood then with Fields etc..

edited after game 4--Wood pitched great and got the win..but i think he would of been great in relief of HIll in game 2 and won game 2.....dodgers could of been up 3-1 instead of 2-2......not sure if want Darvish pitching a game 7..

Good call Jake. Darvish was a terrible call.
