They didn’t play like it and the dodgers took them to 7 games last year with the dodgers pitching basically giving the astros two of the 7 games.

The dodgers starting pitching and bullpen is better than Houston’s was this post season. Astros have some very good hitters but I don’t think they faced the kind of pitching the dodgers did in the NLCS

The Dodgers also weren't pitching to the Red Sox. The Dodgers are very good but I agree with Masscobra, if the Red Sox don't win it'll be an upset.

So if the dodgers win more than one game, will you then think the dodgers are better than the astros?

A lot of mistakes in this game and plays that went Boston’s way. We will see what happens tomorrow.

No.

I actually think the dodgers are the fourth best team in baseball behind the Yankees.

Sometimes the best team doesn’t win

Do you think Boston is better than the astros? Everyone had picked houston to beat Boston and most think they lost because of all the injuries they had to deal with.

I think it’s real close but yes this team right now is better than Houston. If Houston was healthy than it would have been much closer.

Like I’ve said Sox are only up 1-0. There’s a lot of baseball still left to play and I’m merely bench racing my opinions.

Pretty exciting first game. Sox basically did what they had to, which is score 5+ runs and get to Kershaw early. It's always fun as an unbiased fan to see two Aces get beat up.
Could be the hype of the WS but LA just felt like they were sloppy. You can tell Freese is not a 1B by any means.
I do respect Beantown for the ovation to Roberts in the starting lineup.
And I know it led to a 3 Run jack, but what in the world was Nunez swinging at? lol

Boston will always love and respect Dave Roberts.

Boom.
2-0 Sox
They are looking great thus far. Betts looks so relaxed and comfortable.
Just wait til the balls start flying out of the park in LA
