BS Wildcats Posted October 1, 2018 Report Posted October 1, 2018 The winner of this series will be the AL rep in the WS.
Hook'em Posted October 1, 2018 Report Posted October 1, 2018 Gonna have to hit when ducks are on the pond and make the most of RISP, Cleveland has some nasty pitching. Should be a great series! Astros in 4!

PhatMack19 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 With 4 games scheduled for Friday including the Red Sox and Dodgers hosting, I’m sure the Astros will get an early start. Plan accordingly. Official start times won’t be set until after the wild card game late Wednesday.
Tigers2010 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 Ya'll funny lol. I'm guessing winner of the Cowboys/Texans game gonna go to the Super Bowl lol . The homer analysis on this site is getting out of hand. Oakland has 0 chance of beating Boston in a 7 game series. This ain't the regular season, and Mike Fiers as your #1 ain't getting past Boston. That may be the dumbest take I have ever read on this site. Yankess, a little different. That lineup can potentially upset Boston if they just go off in a ridiculous way. But, they would be nowhere close to favored in that series. Houston better find their 2017 selves or Cleveland will be moving on. Both have very good starting pitching, Cleveland has a better offense but the worst bullpen in the league. Depends on which team finds it first. Oakland beating Boston...in 7 Games.....WOW.

It’s baseball. Anything can happen. Luckily for Oakland the Division Series are only 5 game series, so I think that puts their odds slightly above 0%.

PhatMack19 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 Game times announced. Friday- 1:05pm Saturday- 3:37pm
PhatMack19 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 Astros ALDS rotation: Game 1: Verlander Game 2: Cole Game 3: Keuchel I’m on the fence about Kuechel in Game 3. It’s a nice change with a soft throwing lefty after 2 power righties, but Morton has been better all season. It’s a tough call unless Morton isn’t 100%.

I am afraid the Astros will not make it out of Cleveland. Very tough match up.

ALDS is only 5 games, Boston is not playing very good baseball going into the playoffs. Call it dumb or whatever you like, but teams that go into October hot have success.
baddog Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 I'd rather play the Yankees or Boston than Oakland. Oakland was the hottest team in baseball last month. Stros are sometimes sluggish with the bats until they get to their biatch in the pen. I'll stay with my Stros. They are the reigning champs until they get knocked off. Hook'em 1

He won’t admit it, but the A’s have a lot better than 4% chance of winning if they get there. Hook'em 1

aki1994 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Posted October 3, 2018 The Cleveland Indians played below .500 baseball against teams outside the horrible AL Central. I like the Astros chances baddog 1
Razor Posted October 3, 2018 Report Posted October 3, 2018 The Cleveland starting pitching scares me a bit...they are very good, but like has been said here before, the 'Stros are the champs until someone knocks them off...I don't thing Cleveland is that team so 'Stros in 4. Regarding Morton, I fear that he isn't 100% yet, thus the Kuechel start...plus Keuchel has pitched well down the stretch, represents a definite different look form the hard throwing Verlander and Cole, and he's a lefty...hopefully CFM can give us some innings out of the pen if need be, just hope he's healthy

You do know that relief pitchers can get wins too, right? Price is 0-8 as a STARTER in the playoffs with his 2 wins coming in relief. Ok, I’ve proven you wrong enough in this thread. The topic of this thread is ALDS-Astros-Indians series. Go post on the Playoff thread if you want to continue getting proven wrong on topics that don’t involve the Astros.

I don't see you policing the threads that topics vere, why this one? You're a homer, and an idiot at that.
baddog Posted October 3, 2018 Report Posted October 3, 2018 I'm afraid I'm guilty of looking past the Indians. Astros can hit any pitching anytime. We have some pretty good ones ourselves. I'll take Verlander, Cole, and Morton over any pitching in the league.
