Potentially the most unpredictable Playoffs ever

Big time start. Old fashioned baseball. It goes better without the parade of journeymen.

He only threw 99 pitches and just gave up a solo home run in the 7th. Phillies scored 2 in the first which probably helped Wheeler out being able to pitch with a lead from the start.

Wheeler has been a phenomenal pitcher this post seasons 34 strikeouts in 26 innings and only 2 walks.

Who will the Rangers throw at if they are down big late?

I still find it hard to believe that Houston was intentionally throwing at someone in the 8th inning of game 5 of the ALCS with the series tied and losing by 2 runs. There's plenty of opportunity for retaliation next season. No reason to give the Rangers another base runner late in a game that you're trying to come back in to avoid going down 3 games to 2.

Agreed, that's what spring training is for, settling old scores

Looks like we are finally going to get a Series that is going the distance. Loser goes home. Game 7.
