Dodgers in 6? Or in 7?
Joc Pederson going full Kirk Cousins after that dinger. Premium shit
I am a Rangers fan, and the intersection of Astros fans around where I'm from in Texas makes the hate run deep. Still can't root for the Gaydgers though.

This is probably the most likely scenario now. Although, Kershaw.Quote:

Druff we don't want all Dodgers cmon
Best looking players in baseball will always come out one step ahead.
I'm surprised by the amount of people buying Astros AL champ stuff...at least wait until they win or lose the series, if they win you buy world champ stuff, if they lose you can get that AL champ stuff on the cheap.
Druff style.
Astros are also very fortunate to not be down 3 - 1, hope the series goes 7

Sorry I can't keep up live. I write this stuff for family that want to know but can't or won't watch the games.
The World Series is tied 2-2. Experts say Dodgers' starter Clayton Kershaw is the best in baseball. I say it's Verlander. Kershaw faces the Astros best pitcher (before the Justin Verlander trade) Dallas Keuchel tonight.
It's the same matchup as game 1 in Los Angeles where both were excellent except for a pitch or two. Dallas Keuchel, the 2016 Cy Young Award winner, gave up three runs on two homers and Kershaw, a three-time Cy Young winner, gave up one solo home run. That was all the scoring as L.A. won 3-1, but this time they match up in Houston.
The Astros lost their first game at home in this postseason last night. Tied 1-1 until the late innings, Houston's bullpen couldn't keep it tied and the Dodgers rattled off 5 runs late for a 6-2 win. Both starters were excellent pitching shut outs into the sixth inning. L.A.'s Alex Wood, who only had one start in the past month because the Dodgers swept the Diamondbacks, pitched 5 and 2/3 no hit innings before Astros all star center fielder George Springer homered to left. The Astros started Charlie Morton who gave up only two hits and no walks through 6 1/3. Then Morton was pulled after giving up a double to struggling rookie first baseman Cody Bellinger. It was all Dodgers from there.
The previous night Yu Darvish got rocked for 4 runs and couldn't finish the second inning. Houston went on to a 5-3 win behind starter Lance McCullers Jr. And a starter in the bullpen saved them for the second time this postseason. Game seven of the Yankees' series was saved by four innings from starter McCullers. Former starter Brad Peacock finished off McCullers' win Friday night with 3 2/3 no hit innings.
Houston's bullpen was the only weakness talked about before the World Series and if not for some unconventional managing by Houston's A.J. Hinch, the Astros would not have gotten this deep into the postseason. Expect to see more razzle dazzle from Houston's manager the rest of the series.
If the teams split the next two games McCullers and Darvish would start a winner take all game 7 in L.A. Verlander will face off against Rich Hill in a rematch of game 2 on Tuesday night in L.A. Both starters kept the game close and both bullpens faltered. Houston edged L.A. 7-6 in extra innings.
If it goes to 7, they may start Wood, given the disaster that was Darvish the first time around (and given Wood's excellent performance yesterday).
Honestly in this series, Astros have the edge when it's not a battle of bullpens, but the Dodgers have the edge once the pen gets involved.
That is, provided Roberts doesn't waste all of his best relievers in the 5th-7th innings.
This is the biggest game of Kershaw's life tonight. If he pitches well and wins it, much of the "Kershaw can't win in the postseason" narrative will go away.
It's not a good park for him, though. Kershaw's achilles heel this season is HR, and it's not exactly hard to hit a HR in that park.
Oh, and fuck that train.

Kershaw - the regular season goat & playoff myth.
Jansen and bullpen reverting to the mean.
Not to mention the Astros
You can buck the public taking under 7 (the sheep love Kershaw/Jansen). at extremely favorable prices.
I just got over 7 +110
They won't let this go to 6.5. But if they do I'll smash that too.

Tonight's score
5 to 3 Todgers.
