World Series prediction ?

[Cross-7]

Dodgers in 5 is the way I think it'll unfold.

 

[Rafter S]

Astros in 6.

 

[HDRider]

Go Stros

 

[dun]

someone will win and someone will lose and some people will be happy and some sad. Most won;t give a crap one way or the other

 

[Son of Butch]

game 1
3-2 Dodgers

I'd start Fransico Liarino game 1 save Dallas Keuchel and bullpen by throwing the 1st game 8-2.... a loss is a loss.

game 1

You only missed it by 1 run
Kershaw only made 1 mistake.

Now it's on Verlander

 

[Son of Butch]

I meant to say Dodgers 3-1

Well they wasted Keuchel.... they would've been better off going with Liarino and losing the game 8-1
2 hrs 28 minutes shortest World Series game since game 4 of the 1994 World Series.

 

[Cross-7]

Yup
I said the same thing.
They match up again in game 4
Kershaw felt good and had to be talked out of the game and going to the pen.

 

[Son of Butch]

Yeah, to win the series I felt they had to focus on winning games 3, 4 and 5 at home and then hope to steal game 7
by using both Keuchel and Verlander in the final game.
I even kicked the idea around of dumping the first 2 games to get the match ups you wanted at home.
But that's too dangerous a game to play after they wasted Keuchel.

Verlander is a beast under pressure. He reminds me of Jack Morris when the Twins had him in 1991.
Now you have to send the biggest horse in the barn and hope to scratch out a couple of runs on the road to get him by.
The Astros just haven't been able to find their hitting shoes on the road so far in any of the post season series.
To quote Yogi Berra, "Good pitching beats good hitting every time and vice versa."

game 2
Dodgers 2-1 (and hope I'm wrong)

 

[jltrent]

Braves will win....

 

[Cross-7]

Braves will win....

Big Braves fan
Been waiting on another since 1995
Lots and hall of famers on that team

 

[Son of Butch]

Astros won 7-6 in 11 innings

WOW
5 home runs in extra innings and 8 home runs in a game both are new MLB records for any game ever.

Dodges broke up Verlander's no hitter with 2 out in the 5th inning with a home run, he went 6 innings, a 2 hitter
but both hits were home runs. Dodgers 1st loss when leading after 8 innings this year.

Thanks for the heads-up on the taco SOB. Anyone want mine?

No.

I put a very high value on a good taco.

I wouldn't think a Taco Bell taco is what your looking, but everyone has different tastes. Personally I've never ate at a Taco Bell so rating their food is out of my expertise.

Taco Bell and 'good taco' should never be used in the same paragraph..

What a game tho!!
Makes it a 'best of 5' series now tho, with Astros having home field advantage.
Don't blow it!

 

[Rafter S]

I don't think that anyone could deny that last night was one of the best World Series games ever played. 5 home runs hit after the 9th inning. That's the first time that ever happened in any MLB game; not just in the World Series.

 

[Son of Butch]

Such a big win to be able to split the first 2 on the road 1-1 each makes the series exciting.
Dodgers still favored to win the series in 7 - but Houston has to be the big favorite to win game 3 at home
game 4 not so much, but first things 1st.
game 3 on Friday
Astros 5
Dodgers 4

 

[Son of Butch]

I was close... Astros 5 Dodgers 3

I expected Dodgers to pitch Clayton Kershaw in games 1, 4 and 7 but they are going with Lefty Alex Wood in game 4
Alex Wood 16-3 2.72 era in regular season, but 0-1 in post season going only 4 2/3 innings and giving up 3 runs

game 4 prediction
Astros 4
Dodgers 3
