This is a 10* on LAD

This will be just the ninth meeting between these teams since the now infamous 2017 World Series. The subsequent three Fall Classics have all involved either the Dodgers or Astros with LA losing the 2018 version, Houston losing in 2019 and then LA winning last season. Five of the last eight meetings have occurred since last summer and the Dodgers have won four of those. Though they lost that ‘17 WS, they are now considered the better team by just about everybody. Houston isn’t bad by any means and could very well end up winning the AL West again this year. But right now the Dodgers are on an 8-game win streak. Houston has lost four straight. It was 9-2 Dodgers on Tuesday even though they had just seven hits. The Astros are reeling, not just because of last night, but also they were swept in Texas over the weekend. Now they must face Trevor Bauer, whose 5-5 team start record is as misleading as it gets. Bauer has gone at least six innings in 9 of his 10 starts and he’s given up no more than two earned runs in nine straight. A 0.93 ERA and 0.77 WHIP over the last three starts is as good as it gets. Bauer is a perfect 8-0 with a 2.90 ERA in his career vs. Houston. Dodgers keep rolling. Play on LA DODGERS
