Nats and Yankees in six, then Yankees in four.
Edit: I changed five to six because I forgot that the format is 2-2-1-1-1 in the league championship series. I'm picking the Nats and Yankees to close out the series at home.

This is cheating because the game already started, but:
Nats in 6
Astros in 6 |

Anibal Sanchez was supposed to be the weakest link of the Nationals starting staff  |

Guess which starting pitcher in the NL had the lowest hard-hit rate? Anibal Sanchez! What a game. Had to come with the 3-2 strike, didn't want to walk him to bring the tying run to the plate. He did that to Edman leading off the inning too, with Zimmerman making a great diving catch to save the no-no, at least temporarily.
I didn't want to say anything to jinx it. |

And to think their biggest off season change was letting Harper walk. Enjoy the next 12 years Phillies nobody is taking that contract off your hands. |

Sherzer at 35 is so durable unlike Kershaw |

| Welp, at least one manager named Dave is pushing the right buttons in the NL postseason. |

| Scherzer's career postseason ERA is now down to 3.35 in 102 innings. Just .15 higher than his regular season number. |

| Yes, it's a small sample size of 41 innings, but Masahiro Tanaka's career postseason ERA now stands at 1.32 after 6 scoreless innings here in Game 1 so far. And much like Kershaw, he doesn't throw hard anymore since his partial UCL tear. He's faced the minimum through 6 against the powerful Houston lineup. In Houston. |

| Torres' bloop single has the Yankees up 5-0 now. And as for the Astros not being concerned, I mean, yes, they will be favored in Game 2 behind Verlander, but all of a sudden that's pretty close to a must-win for them. |

right, not being concerned would be an inaccurate description by me....more so they are about as well positioned as possible to lose Game 1 and still have a solid chance to bounce back. |

Unfortunately, Kershaw's woes aren't just physical.... |

Send him to Cincinnati.....2 Years / $62 Million left on deal....I think he is worth it. |

Not that the Dodgers would trade Kershaw, but what are we getting in return? |

$62 Million to spend somewhere else! Like you said, Kershaw is not getting moved, nor should he. He should throw his last game in Dodger stadium. |

I don't have attachments like that, as a fan. Even with my favorite players. If I felt like the money could be better spent and that a championship could realistically be close, I have no issue with letting players go. The Patriots Way, if you will. Perhaps you will recall that I was on record last offseason as saying that I would have let Kershaw walk, if he was going to opt out.
Meanwhile, we have a heck of a Game 2 unfolding in Houston. |
