CS' Day 5: Walkoffs and Blowouts

Look, this Brewers-Dodgers series may go down to the wire. Both teams are incredible this year, and both teams want this World Series spot BADLY. And last night, where they stretched a 1-1 tie out 13 innings, was the proof. Because both teams, regardless of pitching, or lineup efficiency, are just that good. And it took Cody Bellinger nailing a much-needed RBI single in the 13th to seal it for LA.

As we continue tonight, this series is still tied at 2, and now things are really going to heat up. If somebody wins two straight, they're in. They're moving on. But...is this the kind of series where the Brewers or Dodgers can allow the other team to win 2 straight?

In a similarly-cutthroat series, the Astros learned the drawbacks of starting Dallas Keuchel in the postseason this year, as the Red Sox lineup, including Steve Pearce, J.D. Martinez and Jackie Bradley Jr., proceeded to stomp the crap out of him, and ended the game with an 8-2 win. In Houston. Now they have won two straight, and tonight they could win a third, especially with Rick Porcello facing off against Charlie Morton, a great starter but fourth man for a reason.

I still want the Astros to come back, and I believe they can, but if the Sox' offense is gonna do this every time, it truly scares me.

Tonight, more from both series.
