I just absolutely love these match ups between the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers they are indeed the best two teams in baseball. Many times when we get to the World Series and one of the teams and sometimes both teams if you really follow the whole season as a professional broadcaster, reporter or writer you understand which is the best team.
This year I do believe these are the best two teams in the game without a doubt, the Astros from the American League and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League so this will be a tremendous World Series. Like I predicted in my previous articles that the Dodgers are going to win it in six games but really who knows this is the World Series it’s how the ball bounces.
The Astros just four years ago were the comedians of MLB with 111 loses in 2013 they had multiple 100 game losing seasons and when Astros manager AJ Hinch got onto the scene in Houston in 2015 he said that nobody was talking about winning it all about going through the motions. Hinch said that Jose Altuve told him he wanted to win and Altuve’s play has caught fire after winning two MVPs and hitting .346 this season 24 home runs, and 81 RBIs this season the Astros story with Altuve is incredible.
There is no doubt that the two best teams are in this World Series and with the Astros Dallas Keuchel and the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw both starting for game one at Dodgers Stadium for a 5:00 PM PDT and 8:00 PM EDT start.
