Official 2017 World Series Thread

[ten ocho recon scout]

Id like to think the dodgers got lucky against the cubs. Not saying the cubs were better. But its almost like chicago just rolled over. Dbacks hit them, and id take chicagos offense over them.

The astros scare me because the yankees came very close to knocking them off. But then again, ny got past cleveland (which is weird as hell), but ir might be a case of ny being the photo negative of CHC, hot/cold wrong time, not indicative of true talent.

My gut says dodgers. Theyve got everything going for them. But i feel like people are sleeping on houston. They should, imo, be viewed at least as equals. But even on this website, some people still consider them the "lastros"...

Lets go Dodgers bring the World Series trophy back to So Cal. But honestly I don't really care who wins, both teams have a lot of guys that are really easy to root for. I am just glad the Yankees or Boston didn't get in.

I think it goes 7.  The winner is probably the team that wins game 6 as the losing team may have blown out their pen.

Starting staffs are about even and Dodgers have the edge in the bullpen. But the Dodgers are prone to being shut down, offensively, if they face good pitching (which the Cubs and D-backs dont have). 

If it boils down to the bullpens, I like the Astros chances of scoring on the Dodger bullpen better than the Dodgers chances of scoring on the Astros bullpen. I just think the Astros have significantly better hitters, all down the lineup, except at catcher. Plus, the Dodgers have more young players with little playoff experience. Barnes, Bellinger, Taylor. And who knows what Seager can do?

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I really think its going to come down to who scores the most runs and wins four games first. That said, I'm taking the 'Stros in 7. I predict this will be a classic series, one for the ages.
