The World Series starts tonight with a great pitching match-up. Unless something goes horribly wrong, I see the bullpens deciding the series more than the starting pitching.
I want to root for the underdogs, but I just have a feeling it will be the Astros who win it all.

Tonight: Max Scherzer vs Gerrit Cole Tomorrow Night: Stephen Strasburg vs Justin Verlander That's nearly the toughest starting pitching in all of MLB. But that doesn't always guarantee a low-scoring game, even when the starters are on the mound. I've seen weakly hit balls find some outfield grass or balls taking a bad hop or errors setting the stage then a batter crushing a pitcher's pitch outside the strike zone. Sometimes things just happen to change the trajectory of a game. In any case, I can easily see this series going seven games. ... unless it doesn't.

I was surprised to see that Cole was human last night. Quite the game and was still anyone's heading into the 9th. It will be interesting to see if Houston can recover. They have lost several Game 1s before and still come back to finish off a series, so we will have to see. Should be good baseball either way!

I did not expect such a colossal loss on the part of the Astros. If the Nationals continue their dominance in DC, they will be heroes. All the pressure is on the Astros. At least if the Nationals win it all, the Cardinals can say they lost to the champs...and that they are on the same level as Houston.

I did not expect such a colossal loss on the part of the Astros. The Astros held a private player-only meeting after losing Game 2. www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1861876Rumor has it, A.J. Hinch crashed the meeting.

They can still rally. The next three games are in DC. The Astros would love to take the wind out of the Nationals' sails before heading back to Houston.

The Astros need to focus on one game and one game only. Tonight. They can't change Games 1 and 2. They can't affect Game 4 yet. That's obvious but not easy to do when you're behind in a series.

Be interesting to see what they do tonight. They have to have tonight's win in order to guarantee a force back to Houston.

Hopefully they will each win another one. I enjoy going to Game 7 and having it come down to the wire.

Fun Fact #1:Even if the Nats win the World Series, Washington fans will not have seen a winning game in their own stadium. Fun Fact #2:The Astros bring the series back to Houston with a 3-2 lead but ... the home team has not won even one game in the series thus far. 😲

Game 6 should be interesting, especially if the Nationals pull one out over Verlander. I love Game 7s.

I love the seventh inning.

I can't wait for the Game tonight! I love when it gets exciting and down to the wire. Plus, all of the rules are gone. Every pitcher has to be ready to go to help the team if need be.
Who cares who wins? I love baseball.
