- So Donnie, now we go to game number seven.
00:05
Tonight in Houston, it's the Rangers and the Astros.
00:08
Max Scherzer on the bump for Texas.
00:11
On the other side, Dusty Baker counters
00:13
with Christian Javier, who has been sensational.
00:16
In fact, he out-dueled Scherzer in a big way
00:19
in game number three of this ALCS.
00:22
Donnie, what do you expect with their seasons on the line
00:26
and American League pennant at stake
00:28
in game number seven tonight in Houston?
00:31
- You know what I love best about this, Ben?
00:33
Look at the total for this game for a game seven.
00:35
It's nine and a half with Max Scherzer on the mound here.
00:39
This is supposed to be a game that's, you know,
00:40
oh, I can't believe it.
00:41
They're hovering around six here as a total
00:43
because it'll be a kitchen sink game
00:44
with two good bullpens and hammers on the mound
00:47
in every run.
00:48
But the fact of the matter is you line up
00:49
both of these pitchers with the numbers that they provide.
00:52
This game does track to an over.
00:54
We should be getting 10 runs.
00:55
Here's the difference between the Philadelphia Phillies game
00:57
and this game tonight.
00:59
With Nola, you know he's gonna pitch well.
01:00
Merrill Kelly, as long as he stays somewhat upright,
01:03
I should say, he'll get at least through five innings.
01:05
In this game, it's game seven.
01:07
You might see a starting pitcher come out
01:08
in the second inning, even if he only has traffic
01:11
of maybe one or two bases on there
01:13
and hasn't given up a run yet.
01:14
That's what's so hard for me to say to myself,
01:16
boy, I love the way both of these offensive lineups
01:18
project against right-handed pitching, which is correct.
01:20
When you might be getting lefties across the board
01:22
by the third inning here, which throws off the cap here,
01:25
I think we do get runs in this game,
01:26
but a more confident handicap is probably gonna come
01:29
from the Philadelphia Phillies-Arizona Diamondbacks game.
01:31
Can't wait to see a game seven play out, though.
01:33
High stakes leverage, man.
