A little concerned about their #3 starter situation, as well as the bullpen, but hopefully the lineup outside of Altuve and Correa will start hitting. A big key in a potential Dodgers-Astros is the health of Seager. If he plays, the Dodgers are probably the favorites. If he doesn't, it's likely they'll have some trouble scoring against Verlander and Keuchel

i wouldn't stick a fork in the Cubs yet. They get Kendricks going in game 3 and Arrieta in game 4. If they can get both of those- it's a whole new series. Quintana in game 5 and Lester in game 6(both on regular rest). Plus, Wade Davis will be back to close things out on a more normal basis.

Man, really feeling the love here.

But swoosh is right. No Seager is bad NOW (no way we can expect Culberson to keep hitting). Not sure we can get by the Cubs w/o him and it'll be that much tougher v Astros if we do.
