HOUSTON ASTROS(Verlander) -111 over La Dodgers(Hill)-----Verlander's.........been is some WS's that he didn't win.   This year.....sometime in mid-season he got good and just kept improving.  So you could justify a bet on him just for that reason.   It would be tough for the Astros if they lost both their Keuchel AND Verlander games.   Hill is pretty much a 5 inn starter----gotta respect the mileage he gets out of his stuff(166 K's in 135 innings).   If he doesn't get wild he might do ok.....but probably not for more than 5 innings.  So I do think the Astros have a starting pitcher advantage here,  but its not easy to justify a bet against either of these teams.(Win 7-6...........Game-tying HR Marwin Gonzalez........GWHR  George Springer.   Correa was 3-6, HR)
