Who does everyone like and in how many games? I think Game 1 is much more important for the Dodgers because Kershaw is Pitching. Verlander is going in Game 2 for Houston which he will be very tough to beat.
My pick Dodgers in 6. I haven't seen any team over the last 2 seasons handle the Cubs the way they did. They just seem super hungry not winning since 1988, have a solid lineup 1-8, and the best Pitcher in the league in Kershaw. They also have the best Bullpen in the league which ultimately will be the difference IMO. If the Dodgers lose Game 1 though, this could be a scary long series.

Undoubtedly because of the postseason fuckups, but even in getting to the WS and being masterful (with some plate umpire help) he is deflective of the praise and adulation. He really needs the Dodgers to give him more run support, but HELLO -- when you're a flashy L.A. team every skid row organization brings their "A" game to try and defeat the mighty champions, and sometimes losses that shouldn't be tend to happen. It's a blessing and a curse for any California team, really. Flash vs. Substance. Hopefully his teammates can seal the deal and lessen any pressure on him to have to pitch again.

"In 1926, actor Norman Lloyd watched Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth in Game 1 of the Fall Classic. Now three weeks shy of turning 103, he'll be back in the stands for what might be the longest fan seniority streak in World Series history."
