    Astros will win the world series in 5 games or less.

    They have all the momentum. Dodgers have not been challenged. They have had no adversity. The first sign of adversity and the dodgers will start to make mistakes. They are a paper tiger. The Astros have guts and better contact hitters. They have tons of confidence. They remind me of the 2003 marlins. They will find a way to get it done and it won't be that hard.

    No adversity? They just won the NLCS without their shortstop.

    Dodgers have to win Game 1. Verlander is too tough right now.

    I don't know how many games it will be but I couldn't resist getting plus money on Astros for the series. I said before whoever comes out of the AL will win so I am not backing away from that now.

    Lol okay man. Sometimes it's just easy isn't it? So Verlander is going home empty handed and no one gets to bump my thread calling him a bum? I doubt that.

    Relax. You win either way. Astros win the title, you get to bump this thread. Dodgers win the title, you get to bump the Verlander thread.

    You've got all your bases covered.

    Did you start a thread tonight about a Super Bowl pick? I saw you took care of New Orleans last night. Maybe grab the Eagles or Rams tonight. Over the weekend, grab the other one. Come the first week of February, you'll have them all covered!

    Dumb post. Dodgers will be fine against verlander, and literally every other pitcher on the Astros aside from keuchel. Dallas is the only guy that will give the Dodgers trouble, they have struggled against the soft lefties. Other than that, Dodgers in 5 or 6 is what it’s going to be

    Astros almost lost to the Yankees

    Dodgers have a better lineup, a better bullpen and better starters than the Yankees

    I see this ending in 6

    Could go to 7 though, both these teams haven't lost at home these playoffs. Something's gotta give, I give it to the Dodgers.

    I'm not sure anybody will be fine against JV right now. He's been the best pitcher in baseball the last couple of months.

    Wasn't there a stat somewhere about Kershaw crumbling in the playoffs? Too many people are making the Dodgers the "easy pick" here....Even the Kershaw line seems low for game # 1 to me....

    Dodgers got this world serires!!! Stros are going down!!

    Dodgers have the home field advantage and won't fold at home in a game 7 if there is one.. Dodgers are dialed in right now and back to winning form, blowing thru every series in these playoffs..

    I got the Dodgers to win it all on every book $100 to win $350.. Hit that midway thru the season.. Let's go Dodgers!!

    As usual, you have no idea what you are talking about. You are one of the 5 worst 'cappers in here and you know it. You have no money, so you just shoot your mouth off and continue to post.

    exactly.... Kershaw in the playoffs is like JJ Gold in the bedroom.....

    severe performance anxiety.....

    this is the "Kershaw's performance in the playoffs" equivalent:




    to jj's credit, tho....

    first, he was able to find it, then shift it once or twice so that some light would actually reflect on that pathetic chub, to make it visible to the viewer.....

    Astros were +500 to win it all before game 6 last series. That was the time to take them.
