Astros up 2-0. Yeah, despite the potency of my Yankees, can't say I didn't see it coming.
I mean, sometimes in the playoffs, being the better team actually works out well for you. The Astros had been incredible since, like, April, and the Yankees had moments of humanity...and a few of them have been happening in Games 1 and 2. It's not even the starting pitching, though losing Severino could be pretty horrifying. There's not run support, and the Astros are just able to get through the cracks. Carlos Correa had a great game last night, fueling both his team's runs. They're in the Bronx on Monday night, and that should probably fuel some sort of a comeback?
Meanwhile, in LA...
I mean it. Chris Taylor came in in a big way for the Dodgers. He may not have been as showy as someone like Cody Bellinger, but he could play multiple positions, and he was hitting over .300 for most of the season. Putting Chris Taylor in the playoffs was a scary idea for competitors, and last night he, Yasiel Puig and Charlie Culberson were battering down the Cubs. It was a surprisingly close game thanks to Albert Almora, but the Dodgers pulled it out behind a FINALLY-PLAYOFF-DOMINANT Clayton Kershaw.
Tonight, they play Rich Hill against Jon Lester. Ten years ago, Lester was pitching in the World Series, and Hill was pitching for the Cubs. How time flies.
