With the way that Anibal Sanchez has pitched, I think you could see the Nats be willing to use Corbin in relief in Game 1, Game 2, or even both. If it pushes him back to a Game 4 start instead of Game 3, I think the Nats can live with that. Just a guess on my part. |
Yea I could see that. They showed in dodgers series they aren’t afraid to put a starter in relief. For them to have a shot they have to hit with runners on. Yankees have had chances but can’t get clutch hits. Nats been living on clutch hits so should be a good series. |

2 great starting pitching staffs. Should be a better series than people will think. |
The Yankees are like a horror movie villain. I'll believe they're dead when I see a stake in their hearts. The story of this series has been the Yankees' poor hitting with men on base. Just a couple singles at the right time could have changed this series dramatically. I won't be surprised a bit if the Yankees come roaring back. |

Except this version of the Yankees is not that old version of the Yankees of the late 90's, early 2000's. Astros will probably finish them off in game 5. |

Astros biggest World Series favorites since 2007
Quote: | Caesars Sportsbook on Sunday opened the Astros as -235 favorites to beat the Nationals in the best-of-seven series. The Nationals are listed as +195 underdogs. |

I really don't know what to expect from this series. The Nats are playing at a higher level than they did during the regular season. I understand why we're heavy favorites, but the Lakers were heavy favorites against the Pistons, too. |

I think it will be a closer series than what is predicted but Astros will probably prevail. |

Dodgers hitters were struggling and flailing at garbage...Even worse with Cardinals. Astros offense will punish the Nats. |

I tend to agree, but I think the Nationals have more than a punchers chance in the series. Maybe catch Verlander on one of his off nights and Greinke continued to struggle this offseason. It is narrow, but I think there is a path. |

For what it's worth, Verlander has been awful in the WS in his career. 4 starts with a 5.72 ERA. _________________ KOBE |

Isn’t that number inflated by Pablo Sandoval’s 3 hr game though? Sure he hasn’t been his usual self and has yet to get a WS win but I still wouldn’t wanna face him. |

For sure, I wouldnt want to face him either. Just saying he hasn't been lights out in the WS. I was wrong earlier, he has had 5 starts not 4. Aside from that Sandoal game he's been average to awful for the most part. Darn near playoff Clayton-esqgee. _________________ KOBE |

Whoa. Any reasons why you think they'll pull off the upset? Is it the whole peaking/scorching at the right time? _________________ KOBE |
