What's the O/U for innings for Darvish and McCullers? 4.2 for both?
Craig Edwards
7:57
I think that's right, but we will see if either manager is a bit more conservative knowing there are three games in three days here in Houston.
Who pitches more innings tonight?
Yu Darvish (80% | 64 votes)
 
Lance McCullers, Jr. (20% | 16 votes)
 
Total Votes: 80

What did you think of the Dodgers last minute lineup change in left field? Was there a reason given for the change?
Craig Edwards
8:02
I haven't seen a reason for it, but they are in the same lineup spot. Maybe there is a familiarity issue with the short outfield, but I don't really know.

Can Darvish go 7?
Craig Edwards
8:03
He can, but it seems unlikely. He won't be forced out by a pinch hitter so the decision will be solely based on how he's pitching and the matchups he is up against.
Ishii
8:03
Do you think the last game affected Dave Roberts or will he stick to his guns on SP and RP strategy?
Craig Edwards
8:04
I don't think he will change, but as I said, no pinch hitter means he won't be forced into a change and playing three straight games could lead to a bit more conservative approach.

Let's pray this game doesn't keep us us to 1am.

for my chatting sake, yes, but for the game's sake, another epic extra innings game would be fun.

But January and February is when you Eno and Paul do all the fantasy preview pods. #justskiphibernation

A-Rod is a really good broadcaster. Well spoken, natural banter, insightful analysis.
Craig Edwards

he's just a big baseball nerd and it shows.

Craig Edwards

How do you feel about the pomp and circumstance of the line ups?
Craig Edwards
8:10
I think it is great for the first home game in the World Series. Fun moment in the ballpark.

Is there a bird in the stadium?
Craig Edwards

Selig forced the Astros to open the roof in the 2005 Series.
Craig Edwards
8:12
yes he did. It can provide that extra edge.

Which team is more likely to sweep in Houston and win the series 4-1?
Craig Edwards
8:12
Houston, with HFA plus DH.
Canyonero Driver
8:13
Why is Houston so heavily favored? I'd guess with Darvish the Dodgers would be at least even odds.
Craig Edwards
8:13
McCullers is no slouch, and home field plus DH gives a bit of a boost to Houston.

Craig Edwards
8:13
Under, but it is close.
