I know Kershaw isnt that good in the postseason but I think LA wins the first game. Verlander/Hill in game 2 is a sizable advantage for us so I agree.

playmaker8267 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Dodgers in 7. The x-factor is Ken Giles. If he transforms into 2017 regular season Ken Giles, then the Astros have a great chance to win this series. If not, he'll blow a game late, possibly even squandering an outing by Keuchel or Verlander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same can't be said for Giles even though he's been hit around a couple of times, I have much more faith in Giles right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devils1854 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Besides Puig, are the Dodgers the most likeable big market club in the past 15-20 years? Kershaw, Darvish, Seager, Bellinger, Jansen, and Turner on the roster, and a great analytical front office headed by guys like Friedman, Anthopoulos, and the great Gabe Kapler.

The most likeable big market clubs are the two teams that are standing. I don't hate the Dodgers. If they weren't playing the Astros in the WS I would be rooting for them to win.

hrubes20 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Dodgers in 6. I just can't trust the Houston pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised to see the pen effectively banished from the plan. Have Peacock and McHugh bridge any middle inning troubles and then go straight to Giles (who hasn't looked good in the playoffs either). It's up to Keuchel and Verlander to go deep in their starts to help preserve this plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Harris will be used too, he warmed up like 5 times in games 6/7 showing that Hinch is still ready to go with him. You may be right otherwise though, I don't think we'll use Devo at this point as he's just completely lost his command. *Maybe* Musgrove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he can't command a baseball anymore and sucks now or anything, but he just doesn't look like he has it right now and there's only 4-7 games left to get it back. Believe me, I hope he does as it'll be huge for us, but it just didn't look like he has his normal command right now. Not having command for an eight batter sample size would be disastrous in the World Series. I did just watch Hinch's press conference though and it seems like we'll use our BP as normal (Devo/Musgrove/Harris/Peacock/McHugh/Giles), until/unless they give him a reason not to so he'll have his chance.

malak1 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Astros in 5. We’ll get “playoff Kershaw” in game 5, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
