The Series So Far

We're two games in, and already I'm getting some serious 'one for the ages' vibes from this World Series.

Maybe it's the pitching, that can stymie teams for 6 innings. Maybe it's the defense, that make leaping catches and keep the score even. Maybe it's the excessive amounts of overpowered hitters, leading to an 8-home run game last time (thanks mainly in part to Yasiel Puig).

Maybe it's the fact that, for the first time in a while, these are, in fact, the two best teams in baseball getting to match up against each other, and the results may have one of the most evenly-matched world series' in years. Either way, it's exciting as all hell.

I say this mainly because I have no idea who's going to win, even after 2 games. It could be either of them. It could be the Dodgers and their wealth of great hitters and young stars, or it could be the Astros and their speed, force and endurance. Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve are playing like royalty, while Clayton Kershaw and Yasiel Puig are fighting furiously. And the games have been insanely fun to watch.

Tonight's matchup is Yu Darvish vs. Lance McCullers. I have no doubt in my mind that it'll be a truly great one.
