Chances of winning the WS, from best to worse:
Dodgers
Fraudkees
Astros
Cubs
Nationals

I like the way the Fraudkees have their starting pitching lined up.
The Astros starting pitching is a question mark after Verlander.
Keuchel had a good game against the Red Sox but generally, he's been mediocre since returning for the DL. Peacock is a wild card. He under-performed against the Red Sox. Hard to say if that was just an isolated incident or if he's going to be a playoff choker.
Morton is too inconsistent. When his curve and sinker are both working, he's as good as any starting pitcher in the playoffs. But you never know when he's going to be on.

So, I think the Astros lose, but this series will also show why Altuve is the regular season MVP, and not Wynona Judge.

So it seems you have the Cubs heading into Washington and taking Game 5?

obviously I do not follow the Astros but was surprised to see that Mike Fiers is no longer on the roster

da fuq happened to him?

I hope the Nats and Cubs play the longest game in playoff history and all their arms fall off from exhaustion.

 

[Erie Warrior]

no shit

Indians last 4 Postseasons:
1999: blown 2-0 ALDS
2001: blown 2-1 ALDS
2007: blown 3-1 ALCS
2016: blown 3-1 WS
2017: blown 2-0 ALDS

I was at the game in '99 when Pedro clinched for the Sox. That sucked. I don't ever want to see a visiting team celebrating on our field again. I am glad I did not go last night.

Help me collect fat stacks. Who you got today? I'm guessing Hendricks?

I really didn't think that one through. I don't even know who the starting pitchers are. Neither one will get past the Dodgers so I guess it doesn't matter who is fourth and who is fifth.

Man, this is a tough one, no doubt...I'll probably go with Hendricks because Dusty Baker is a moron, and I'll probably hit the under as well.

The Astros remembered that he was Mike Fiers.

Ouch, sounds like Dusty forgot there could be a Game 5

Dusty forgets a lot of things.

Great man, though. Good man. Deserves another 10 years

Kyle Hendricks, the silent assassin that is always overlooked. Yeah, the Nats are toast.

trade, sent down to minors, DFA?

The under does seem safe. I can't tell if the pitching is just that good or the lineups are just that bad.

Not really. Max hamstring injury is the reason behind this which led to them holding him out until game 5. Otherwise they would have Max or Stras going tonight
