00:02 - 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.
