Seen the LA Dodgers record? Houston?

Seager back for the LAD is big. He's such an important part to both their offense and defense. Let's see how Kershaw is in game 1. He hasn't been nearly the pitcher in postseason that he is during the regular season. Must win for LAD in game 1. Astros will have Verlander going in game 2 and he has been lights out since coming over from Detroit.

You pretty much summarized the situation, save one weakness. The way the manager handles the pitching staff.

I thought he put the staff in a bind since game two....even tho it was darvish that eventually buried their chances with a poor start tonight...All during game seven I was thinking that the LA pitching would crater if the dodgers ever made a comeback. Just had that feeling. Even their closer looked gassed tonight

The Dodgers received nothing from Darvish, who relies significantly on a slider, said to be the type of pitch that the slicker World Series baseballs were affecting negatively.

Darvish didn't deliver in the series...but neither did the highly-praised top 5 of the Dodger lineup. Turner was a non-factor...and Bellinger was exposed as being no match for the breaking-ball. A great series, but an anti-climactic final game. Springer was awesome...and Morton and Peacock showed up when it counted most. The best team prevailed, just like last year...IMO.
