Congrats to the Dodgers and Astros getting to the World Series. This is how I sized things up with potentially 4 games in LA and 3 games in Houston and the DH in potentially only 3 games:

Offense - Slight edge to Astros in reg season, Edge to Dodgers in the post season. However with Seger out got to lean to the Astros here.

Defense- Slight edge to Dodgers even without Seger.

Starting Pitching- Slight Edge to Dodgers

Bullpen - Toss Up

Manager - Even. Hinch more conservative. Roberts more aggressive. Neither has HC post season experience at this level. Bottom line is they are newbys.

Celebrity Presence - Astros. Nolan Ryan sitting behind home plate in Houston or Mary Hart sitting behind home plate in LA? Got to give it to the Astos and the Ryan legend.

Pick - Dodgers in 5
