    Is this a real take? Do you understand probability?

    If you give houston a 60% chance each game it’s 98% to win a best of 101. Obviously it won’t be literally 100% but as the sample gets big, the odds approach 100%

    Closing the roof provides a big home field advantage, there was a huge controversy back in 2005 as well. Seeing how you just became a fan, didn't expect you to know that.

    RIP Yordan and Tucker's pull home runs.

    RIP Urquidy if he gives up any fly balls to left-center.

    What assumptions are you using to say the Astros had a 60% chance of winning each game? That would be equivalent to this years Astros chances against the Angels or Twins, not against a team in the World Series throwing Scherzer/Strasburg/Corbin.

    The wind at MMP is blocked for the most part because of the design.

    If Jose Altuve does not swing at the first pitch the Astros win

    It’s as simple as that

    I've never seen a man swing on the first pitch twice, and strike out looking twice, in the same two ABs.

    Here's to hoping for a world series 19 Urquidy performance.
