To the uneducated eye, just seems to be the Dodgers year, they have that look.
One more thing, watching too many sports for too long, it seems to me that sometimes, teams just have to go once into the playoffs to kind of get a sniff of things to come, then they can come back next year.
Kershaw has it all but great playoff pitching, I think he adds that this series, just my two cents.
GL with the play but I am on the Dodgers for this year, good or bad.

@Quan61, Altuve is a great hitter. And he uses a heavy bat. For a little guy to catch up with 95+ heaters with heavy lumber is impressive.
His height, believe it or not, makes for a smaller strikezone. Kind of an optical illusion to the ump. There's a less space between the letters and the knees. Aaron Judge gets the opposite effect.
Then there are guys who squat. As a former pitcher I hated em. Remember Jeff Bagwell? His strikezone was a frigin rectangle.
Before our time but could you imagine? If you absolutely needed a walk DH this guy.

With all due respect, I'm still trying to figure this whole "value" thing out through the eyes of key element. I msybgetbtold to stfu like last time because I'm asking questions here but I think it needs to asked about. There are some in here who all they care about is winning. You'd think that's the main goal right? It isn't to gather info to support or challenge a line, it isn't to look at probabilities. Sure those things have to come in play when capping anything but correct me if I'm wrong: value is only value IF it wins, right? I could sell you a guaranteed piece of sh@t for cheap and it could look amazing but if it's a piece of sh@t, is there a value? There is a reason why certain cars, certain material things, certain GAMES are better and just because they are more expensive does that mean they don't offer value? If you are getting more production or you are winning more times than not with paying more doesn't that trump everything? If I put 1700 on the Dodgers to win 1000 and I put 690 on the Astros to win a 100 that extra 1010 I'm saving seems great right? Not really if that 690 bet is a piece of sh@t bet. Maybe it was set out to look great at the price but at the end of the day, that was the bait of selling the piece of sh&at. I'm not necessarily speaking about tonites line; I'm speaking about your idea of value and how if you feel it's not the right line....better hit it. Ask yourself this: why is Kershaw at -170 and kuechel at +147? What variables go into those lines? Do you think the books continually get the lines wrong and that guys like you key who put a ton of emphasis on finding false lines are ahead of the books? Really? Again, I guess I'm just trying to figure this out. Another example: you gonna bet the cavs to win the NBA championship because they are better value at +350 rather than betting the warriors at -160? You just placing the bet because of the "value" even though the value might be with the better team in golden state? Key, you can get all defensive and pop your chest out here with me asking questions or you can just know that I'm trying to understand where you are coming from because lately, this "value" thing doesn't seem to be working over the long haul for those who rely on the way you do. Good luck the rest of the way buddy
Dude,
In far fewer words, I wonder the same thing. See my earlier post in this thread where I ask Key straight out - no odds or numbers - who he actually thought would WIN the game. He replied in one word - ASTROS.
I wasn't going to argue home game, best pitcher, dominating momentum, etc. Those things are useless as Key sees things usually in an analytical vortex.

IRISH- of all days for value, I'd love to hear where the "value" is due tonites game. As for key, I'm gonna let him to do his thing. To each is own.....
