The Astros And Dodgers Are Fucking Everyone Up. If you hadn’t watched a single baseball game this year, you could have gotten pretty well caught up on how things are playing out just by watching the Dodgers and Astros close out their first halves of the season yesterday.

These are the two best teams in baseball, and yesterday they showed us precisely why. The Astros currently lead the league in runs, home runs, OBP, and slugging, and yesterday was a a nine- inning flex of those muscles. They got 1. 7 hits and scored 1. Blue Jays, securing a 6. All- Star break. Five of those hits were home runs—Yuli Gurriel, Evan Gattis, and Jose Altuve each went deep; Carlos Correa did it twice—and another four them were doubles. A glance at Houston’s lineup is a somewhat disorienting experience.

Leadoff hitter George Springer has 2. Watch Small Crimes Dailymotion. OPS+ over 1. 60; Altuve is hitting . Marwin Gonzalez has 1. Watch The Phantom Online Forbes. OPS. Feel free to wring your hands about the depth of the starting pitching behind Dallas Keuchel and Lance Mc.

Cullers, but it’s hard for any rotation to short- circuit a squad with an offense that scores almost six runs per game. Besides, Houston is probably trading for Chris Archer this month. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have Clayton Kershaw, who might be fed up with people saying that Max Scherzer is the best starting pitcher in the game. He struck out 1. 3 guys in a complete- game victory against the Royals yesterday, giving his team a 6.

Not only did he mow down 1. That, uh, has never happened before: Kershaw’s been a demon over his last three starts, striking out 3.

Despite a brief run where he was giving up a home run every other inning and appeared to be dead, the Dodgers haven’t lost a game he started since the beginning of May. The Dodgers have been winning the same way they did last year, but with even better results. Justin Turner is carrying the offense with a . OPS, Corey Seager remains one of the best offensive shortstops in the league, and even Yasiel Puig has managed a bit of a bounce- back season, accumulating 1. WAR through the first half. This year’s guys- who- came- out- of- nowhere are Alex Wood and Cody Bellinger. Wood, a 2. 6- year- old starter who previously floated between the rotation and the bullpen, has a 2.

ERA+ and has struck out 9. Bellinger you should know all about by now—the big rookie with the sweet power stroke has 2.

Only four teams in the 1. Astros are on pace to win 1. Dodgers are on pace to win 1. There’s been a lot of thrilling baseball played through the first half of the season, but these months have belonged to the Astros and Dodgers. It’s too early to say that they are guaranteed to meet each other in the World Series, but barring any significant injuries, it’s hard to imagine too many teams mounting a defense against either of them (glares at the Cubs). If you want to start getting excited about the prospect of Kershaw facing the Astros’ lineup in Game 1 of the World Series, you can’t be blamed.
