    Can the Astros really lose all 4 World Series games in Houston?

    If this happens the fans in Houston will be extremely devastated

    think of how much tickets must cost

    they see their team win 107 games and then lose 4 games at home to the lowly Nationals who barely managed to eek into the playoffs with a 93 win season


    They have their ace on the hill tonight in Greinke


    The crowd should be loud tonight, tailgates will start early, the Houston fans will be eating crawfish and drinking tequila shots all afternoon in anticipation of what is to come.

    The moment of truth

    game 7

    Zack Big Rooster Greinke vs Mad Max Scherezer the fireballer with 3 different color eyes and a hurt neck.

    Someone has to lose.

    Will Soto do his inimidation dance in the batters box?

    will Bregman carry his bat around the bases?

    will Alltuve swing at pitches in the dirt?



    Beating Verlander in the playoff is a piece of cake

    but can they beat the ace Zack Greinke????

    we will find out tonight

    Joe Buck is out with a sore throat

    Harold Reynolds will call the game tonight

    Bear can handle Harold Reynolds over Buck any-day. Was hoping somehow to reincarnate Howard Cosell on Halloween eve to help with the broadcast.

    I said it before the series started. This will be a 7 game series and the umpires will decide who wins it. This is how Vegas wants it.

    Lmfao. You also gave us such gems as the Braves would sweep cardinals and win WS.

    It’s funny how this “what Vegas or networks wants” narrative only gets talked about the years it plays out this way. Fukkin redic. If anything the umps appeared to be helping Stros yesterday w that horseshit call that coulda cost nats huge had rendon not hit the home run next at bat!!! And there no way Vegas “wants” the Stros to win, I’m sure they have way more future liability with Stros.

    Paver was a little high on the falcons this year too. I think he may be compromised.

    To answer your question of course they can lose all 4 home games. They both have already lost 3, why couldn’t they lose another?

    Nats like hitting in Stros park!!! Bigger question is are we finally gonna get a close game? None these games have been dramatic in 9th. Every one been busted open at some point. Just lay the -1.5 with each and take home the plus money? lol

    I don’t see it. A few innings, sure. Can’t see him pitching 5. Nats will make him throw lot of pitches.

    Max gonna pull a schilling bloody sock and pitch a gem while getting carried off mound every inning!!

    Hopefully Nats already have the lead when grienke comes out!!

    I’m little nervous about Corbin coming in, he doesn’t match up real well against Stros. It would be very poetic tho if the guy Nats could afford after Harper walked comes up big to win the WS!!! Gotta love that!!

    this is very true.

    not only do they enjoy the warm indoor temperatures but also they get both Kendrick and Cabrera in the line-up which makes for more fluidity

    Anything is possible in this world series especially if you are following W/L trends for the home teams.. Greinke will be on a short leash that all I know.. He can't be trusted for Houston.

    No freaking clue brotha. Still going nuts trying to decide to hedge nats future or just keep letting it ride?? lol.

    I prob shoulda did so when Nats were up 2-0 but honestly thought at that point after beating Cole and JV at home they had it in the bag! Lol.

    believe it really comes down to max health which none of us can know., Like I said yesterday if I was to play over I would sell it to 8 for plus money.

    I’d guess it a combo of the temps and backdrop for hitters, and yes the dh obviously helps.

    Just no freaking clue wtf scherzer will look like/how many innings he be able to give them??? Makes this game pretty much impossible to cap.

    Bro, Havnt you been reading my post? I have no freaking clue! How can we? We don’t have any idea how well or how long scherzer will be able to pitch???

    If you believe mad max is fine then nats as dogs is the play. If you don’t think he can possibly be in top form obviously Nats in trouble., I don’t like the way Corbin matches up with Stros bats so if he asked to come in early and pitch lot of innings I’d worry. Although it be poetic justice for the guy they went out and got after Harper walked to help win the damn thing!!! Man how sweat would that be? One final kick in Harpers tiny nuts!! lol

    That's why you take the game over total.. I'd say pass on trying to pick a winner unless you wanna flip a coin, close your eyes and gamble blind Bankers

    Both clubs will be throwing pitchers out there at the first sign of trouble.. Some of the starter studs are not use to coming out of the pen though and on short notice..

    If you go off trends the Nats should win this though as both teams when playing on the road are only winning games in this WS...

    7.5 I don't like to get greedy.. Last night was tight up until the end there.. Eases the stress a little if it's tight coming down to the wire.. I don't like pushes either as it's a waste of my time with the O/U's when betting on even numbers..

    I rather risk a push than pay juice on a coin flip. Only one of the 6 would have pushed on 8. The plus money you had gotten on rest and the minus you didn’t lose on the 1 under would have more than paid for the 1 push., this 1st year I’ve dabbled w the selling runs on totals. The gains far outweighed the handful of pushes. Just math pal.

    IDK why people always use this thinking.

    If they can lose 3 in a row, you get your ass they can lose 4 in a row.

    Likewise, if the road team can win 6 straight games in the World Series....you can bet your ass they can win 7.

    Nothing is a slam dunk but with Schwarzenegger going the Nats are very much on position to win this thing.
