Playoff Gameday Thread #22: Landing in Houston

5:08 pm: Los Angeles Dodgers @ Houston Astros (1-1)

Yu Darvish (RHP, 10-12, 3.86) vs. Lance McCullers (RHP, 7-4, 4.25). Though let’s face it, Game #3 is going to have to try very, very hard to stand beside the sheer drama which were the final four innings of Game #2 in Los Angeles. It was great to see the Astros come back, and inflict the first defeat suffered by the Dodgers all year, in a game they led after eight innings. What kind of psychological impact might that have on both teams, now the series has shifted to Houston? There was also yesterday’s off-day, which could either have helped or hindered, depending on what you feel about momentum. We certainly do appear to have a series on our hands now!
