OFFICIAL In-game thread. Game 1 World Series. Cubs @ Indians

**d2bets** · 10-23-16, 12:16 AM

Probables:
Lester vs. Kluber
Arrieta vs. Tomlin
Hendricks vs. Bauer

Does that look right?

Cleveland really needs to win behind Kluber in Game 1, or they are in trouble.

Looks right to me from Cubs side. Lester on normal rest Tuesday so that would make sense. Gonna come down to which team stays hot

**Mr KLC** · 10-24-16, 09:33 PM

RACIST!!!

**daneblazer** · 10-24-16, 09:39 PM

Just glad the all star game decided home field and not something like rotating it every season or overall record

CLEVELAND -- One of the biggest questions heading into the 2016 World Series has been answered: Indians right-hander Danny Salazar will indeed be on the World Series roster. Pitching coach Mickey Callaway and Salazar himself confirmed it.

"I don't know if I'm a starter or reliever but I'm ready," said Salazar, who could be an x-factor in the World Series. Callaway believes he righty can give the team four innings and 70 pitches, if necessary.

Salazar doesn't know if he will start or relieve

I see the pitching matchups as pretty even given the home field advantage for the Tribe. And don't you guys forget, Arrieta has been decidedly ordinary this year. He's no better than Tomlin.

Dodger fans be like....

**newguy** · 10-25-16, 04:19 AM

We are mere hours away boys. Hours away. If you don't have a dog in this fight - does Cleveland feel like the right side to you? Getting +160 on a hot team with home field advantage? I can't believe Cubs are -180 - is that right?? Obviously i won't be on it - but seems like there is value on Indians no?

**RGG** · 10-25-16, 06:22 AM

Cleveland tonight

**Thrilla** · 10-25-16, 10:22 AM

- Today is Game 1 of the World Series, historically, the winner of Game 1 goes on to take the whole series so needless to say the two teams in question would love a 1-0 lead in this best-of-seven affair, but is there value in backing the home team?

As if the drama could get even better, having Schwarber in there ups it a few more notches. This has to be the most anticipated WS in decades. Baseball needed this badly.

**Thrilla** · 10-25-16, 11:48 AM

- The 2016 World Series opens with the Cleveland Indians lined as a small home underdog to the Chicago Cubs in Game 1. SBR Videos hosts Mike Brenner and Peter Loshak present their MLB Odds Couple show for Tuesday October 25.

**d2bets** · 10-25-16, 12:16 PM

Maddon officially says Schwarber will DH tonight. If he homers, the Cubs dugoutvwill be turned upside down. He can become the youngest legend ever. Maybe a Kirk Gibson moment.

Kirk was at end of his career right? Kyle so young. There are so many story lines on this Cubs team. Baez playing like he is 10 seconds ahead of everyone, bryzzo, Cubs vs. Indians. Good pitching and good hitting. This should really be a fun series!

**dreamchaser** · 10-25-16, 01:33 PM

Cleveland wins tonight, but Cubs win the series.

**d2bets** · 10-25-16, 06:50 PM

It took the Cubs 108 years to get back to the World Series.

Now they are 108 outs away from winning it.

Let's get this thing started.

**SEAHAWKHARRY** · 10-25-16, 06:54 PM

Sucks not seeing yhe red white blue banner that usually lines the field whatever

**pilebuck13** · 10-25-16, 06:56 PM

Over 6.5 for me but lean Cubs ML as well

**Mr KLC** · 10-25-16, 07:03 PM

The Cubs/Indians opening with the elderly only remind you that their organizations are both failures.

**vinndy** · 10-25-16, 07:09 PM

This is going to be a fun series to watch.

**pilebuck13** · 10-25-16, 07:09 PM

Schwarber expect to see a dud there

**Mr KLC** · 10-25-16, 07:18 PM

Game-time temperature: 50 degrees The Indians are 2-7 this season in games played at 50 or below. The Cubs are 8-2.

**Mr KLC** · 10-25-16, 07:19 PM

Please do not adjust your television. Yes, the Cubs and the Indians are in the World Series.

**KickShootThrow** · 10-25-16, 07:30 PM
