    Yuli is 33, and i find it odd that both yuli and yu darvish( who were involved that "racial" incident") are the only 2 players in the mlb with the first 2 letters of their name beginning in "Yu"

    could be a sign, could be nothing.. will be intresting to see the first matchup between these 2 tonight

    It would be really nice if we could chase Darvish in the 1st inning. Please?

    Gotta roll with a Morton/Peacock/Verlander to save it.
    If he allows 3 plus runs in the first 2 innings, expect roberts to come get him for kershaw.

    If we do not score 3+ runs in the first 4 innings I do not see us winning. I want a win so bad.

    I remember but I think the Dodgers pitching will be rock solid all night which will be hard to score

    Lance for 6
    Devo the 7th
    Morton 8th
    Keuchel 9th

    That's the winning combo boys and girls

    Neither can I. But I honestly think jumping Darvish early before Roberts can heat anyone is our best chance. If Darvish goes three I fully expect to see Alex Wood come in and face the lineup once, Kershaw to face the lineup once and then wrap up with Jansen. Every bat counts. Need to crooked the sh*t out of the scoreboard in the 1st and 2nd.

    Just my uneducated baseball opinion.

    Astros win via mercy rule after the 6th.

    It will either go down one of two ways.

    Stros can't hit and Darvish goes 6 then Kershaw 7, Jansen closes 8 & 9. Dodgers win something like 5-1

    OR

    Stros jump all over Darvish again, Are up 4-0 by 3rd inning, we are able to muster 3 more runs and win 7-4.

    Basically I trust McCullers/Morton/Verlander combination and it all comes down to our bats.

    They did blow it in game 2 for sure. However, our bullpen allowed them to tie it in the 10th/9th in games 2 and 5 and blew it in game 4. We're going to need an unbelievable pitching effort to win today, and timely hitting, which we haven't done on the road the majority of the time.

    2, 3, and 5 are prime numbers. 1, 4, and 6 are not prime numbers. Astros won Games 2, 3, and 5. Dodgers won Games 1, 4, and 6. 7 is a prime number. Astros will win Game 7.
