I don't know that I'm actually rooting for either team.....what I do know is I don't know if there's ever been a Series with so many regular season strikeouts amongst the starters for both teams.......
Top 3 for Houston- 326 + 300 + 187 = 813 Top 3 for Washington- 251 + 243 + 231 = 725

Interesting game tonight.
Greinke going for Houston...got lit up his last two games. Sanchez going for Wash.......on 2 weeks rest. His last outing was a gem. Nats batting .307 w/5 dingers....Eaton and Soto are standing out! Hous batting .257 w/3 dingers...Alvarez and Altuve (duh) are standing out. The strangest stat I'm noticing is the pitching. Wash staff......3.50 ERA Hou staff........7.00 !!!!!

So, for a variety of reasons, I have watched very little of the series, or the playoffs in general for that matter......but I was watching in the 7th inning last night
My take.....how on EARTH do they not only call Turner out there, but take 5 minutes to appear to review an unreviewable call, then today still DEFEND the call? If this had ended up being a close Astros win, IMO it would have been worse than the pass interference that wasn't in the Saints/Rams game in January. The ONLY reason it because a question of interference was that Peacock's throw was inside the line causing Gurriel to have to reach into Turner to try to catch it. To make it worse? In the bottom of that same inning (I think, coulda been the 8th) Altuve ran thru the base further inside than Turner had and there was no indication ANYone would have been thinking he was automatically out. I don't have a dog in this race, but with Harper gone and a couple ex-Twins on the roster, I wouldn't mind at all if this became the Series they talk about for years as the one where no home team won a single game.
