Dodgers' Rich Hill (3.32 ERA) actually has a slightly better season ERA than Astros' Verlander (3.36 ERA) but I don't think it will matter much here. Verlander has been almost lights out during this postseason with a 1.46 ERA over 24 2/3 innings. Astros know what they are up against should they lose this game. Dodgers' Kershaw looms large and the possibility of having to beat him twice in this series would be a struggle to say the least. Astros need at least one win on the road in order to win this World Series and I think this is the game they will do it. My pick is a close game but Astros getting the W at the end.
