Playoffs Today

Game three of the World Series takes place between the Dodgers and Astros in Houston Friday night, with first pitch time moved to 8:20 PM EDT. Yu Darvish takes on Lance McCullers. Darvish pitched magnificently in the 2017 post-season so far. In 11 1/3 innings he allowed two runs, both on solo homers. He walked one and struck out 14. His control improved since joining the Dodgers, and is on full display here in the post-season.

McCullers turned in marvelous performances in his post-season career as well. He allowed just eight hits in 19 1/3 innings, including a four inning, no-hit relief appearance against the Yankees in game seven of the 2017 ALCS. That compensated for his seven walks allowed.

Watch to see how the managers handle their bullpens tonight. A.J. Hinch appears willing to go longer with this starters than Dave Roberts.

Enjoy!
