00:00here in the Houston Astros.
00:03Can the Tigers continue the momentum here into October and
00:07maybe pull off the upset over a team with a ton of playoff
00:11experience and pedigree in the Houston Astros.
00:16This is going to be an interesting one. It's kind of
00:19amazing what Detroit has done given where they were and where
00:25they finished here. Ben is kind of just absolutely crazy here
00:29when you consider the fact that at August 11th, I believe they
00:33were 55 and 63, if you can believe that. And then they
00:37finish at 31 and 12, which is just hilarious. And they're
00:40doing it without any household names whatsoever. People who
00:44didn't watch any baseball this year are going to tune into a
00:47Tigers game and be like, who the hell is this? Like what? So
00:51Tyreke Scoble is going to be obviously the Cy Young Award
00:55winner in the American League and rightfully so is probably
00:58the best pitcher. But I think this series, Ben, is won or
01:03lost on this game here, believe it or not. I think that's how
01:06important this game is. The Astros have exactly who they
01:10want on the mound, when they want, who has gotten better as
01:14the season went on. And I think they have won, what, 14 of his
01:18last 16 starts or some crazy number along those lines. You
01:22got more experience with Altuve and Bregman than the entire
01:27Detroit Tigers franchise has in the postseason. This is the
01:31last hurrah for this group in Houston. The problem is they
01:34also don't have the big man, right? Or Albert. We're a
01:38little concerned about his knee injury. That's a concern and
01:42worth monitoring on any future bet for the Houston Astros.
01:47But when it all comes down to it, Franber has got the
01:50experience. I think he's got the higher ceiling. And I'd love
01:53to read Scooble, but I think this is going to be a very
01:56difficult game for them to win game number one against the ace
02:00of the Astros. I think Houston wins game one and then in all
02:04likelihood wins it rather quickly to nothing.
