It was an enjoyable game for everybody on the Red Sox except for Chris Sale.

We'll see if he comes back to pitch later in the series.

Arozarena stole home last night
Sox stole home field advantage tonight

Sox got punched in the nuts in the 1st but fought back.

Sale got jumped

Houck was a savior, what a tremendous job, and the balls that found gloves last night found open spaces tonight. The offense was unreal.

GREAT WIN

Logan Webb with a well-deserved round of applause.

It is still a tight game, as he leaves, at 3-0. Can his relief match what he did?

They did just fine.

Now the Giants just have to hope not to suffer the same fate in game 2 that the Rays did after their shut out of the Red Sox.

The Brewers lived up to their heavy favorite status tonight. Will they follow the path of the other favorite, the Astros, and go up 2-0 tomorrow?

Hope doesn't enter into it. Unless that is the name of one of their pitchers.

The Brewers probably have the best bullpen in the NL. That means a lot in the post-season.

The San Francisco Giants, who had the best record in the majors after entering the season as 100-1 long shots to win the World Series, have their sights set on another unique distinction: sportsbook crusher, as multiple operators each stand to lose more than $1 million if they win the championship.

"Honestly, we get crushed if the Giants win," MGM director of trading Jeff Stoneback told ESPN, explaining the potential net loss even after accounting for all wagers on the 29 other teams.



Although the Giants never faded as they rolled to a 107-55 mark during the regular season, bookmakers still only gradually lowered their odds throughout the season. Bettors could have grabbed them at 10-1 in late July.

"We didn't think they had a real chance to do this," SuperBook executive director John Murray told ESPN, adding that they expected the Arizona Diamondbacks (52-110) to finish higher. "We consider the Dodgers to be the best team in baseball. We've thought that the whole season and thought it was just inevitable they would pass the Giants."

San Francisco edged its rival by one game, cashing 40-1 tickets for winning the National League West title.


The Giants, however, once again find themselves dismissed and in the underdog role entering the postseason. The Dodgers are -160 favorites for the best-of-five National League Division Series, even though San Francisco has home-field advantage.

Kopech when it was 4-2 made a lot of sense, prior to the walk and the game tying hit, righty vs lefty

Later on, the move to Kimbrel, one of the best, at 5-4 down, cannot be criticized.

Gotta get two at home, with Kopech fresh and certain to be used.

Kimbrel with the White Sox has been anything but "one of the best."

Tonight's Dodgers-Giants game ought to be amazing, given the starters - but even more than that, to me, is that the Giant's hitters have had a total of 4 at bats against Urias while the Dodger hitters have had none against Gausman!

So you would have gone to Kopech not Kimbrel?
