Result:
LOSS

The Houston Astros looked like they were going to be heading back to Houston down 2-0, but hey rallied and survived an LA comeback, and have evened the series at 1-1. The Dodgers have been considered the best team in baseball all season, so getting them as a dog is certainly a valued position to side with for a pivotal Game 3. History shows that the team that wins Game 1 and losses Game 2 at home in World Series history has a 15-11 record in Game 3 when on the road. The Astros have seen a lot of Yu Darvish when he pitched in the AL for Texas, but it has not equated to success. Darvish has held the current Houston lineup to 31-157 which is .197. Those numbers include just three HRs and eight total extra base hits. While the numbers are limited for the Dodgers vs. McCullers, they are a combined 9-20 at .450 against him. This is where the Dodgers' advantage shows when you get down to the third starting pitcher option - they simply have the edge. Take the Dodgers to win Game 3.
